The Marching Arts Podcast

BOA is back! We cover what BOA is and will follow along for the entire season providing recaps and commentary.

College Football is already back. We take a look behind the scenes to discuss how a college marching band operates on a gameday. What is different for your school?

You know what reddit is right? Come join us as we review the top posts in the r/Marchingband subreddit. Pull up the sub and follow along as we judge the memes and relate to them.

Today we sat down with Christian Stephanos, band director in Kenai, Alasksa to discuss all things marching band. You're probably thinking "wait, you can have marching band in Alaska?" The answer is yes indeed my young Padawan. Sit back and listen as we discuss all things drill writing, rehearsal etiquette and pacing in today's episode.

Congratulations to everybody who marched DCI this year. We discuss the 3 days of finals and the cuts. We chose our favorites and settled out bet from the beginning of the season. The season is always over so fast but I hope you enjoyed it as much as we did.

Harrison and James have a candid discussion about the world of technicians and clinicians in the Marching Arts world. How do you become one? How to NeTwOrK (get used to this word); How to be a professional; How to earn a call back and many more topics are discussed in this week's episode.

It's Finals Week already?! Where did the time go? Was COVID really a thing? These scores are sky high before we have 3 days of grueling competition. Good luck to all corps and we can't wait to see the final scores for the top 3 as well as who makes final 12!

Do you remember your first game? What about your first parade? We all know we remember our first competition. Come and reminisce with us about all the firsts for the Marching Arts!

Hey everyone, DCI is quickly coming to a close while we start to see 3 groupings fighting for 1st, 7th and 12th! Check before you go to rehearsals as many corps are closing to the general public as they fight to stay healthy before finals. We hope to see you at the Southeastern Championship tomorrow!

This week we had on Kaelyn Putnam to discuss the judging of bands during competitions. We also go on some tangents about budgets and branding but overall try to stay on the topic of competitions especially BOA, and US Bands with some DCI sprinkled. Hope you enjoy!
