  • Most Episodes Are Great, Singles Out Performers Sometimes Aggressively

  • Most Episodes Are Great

    The main pod host is great. He’s close to a five-star. Solid voice and personality.

    I’m new to listening to podcast but having this amazing ColorGuard podcast just makes me so happy. I say I live, sleep, and eat guard. Now it’s complete. Love the fun energy the podcast always gives. Love the different topics and people who you have on.

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Episode 28: Things I Wish I Knew as a Young/New Instructor
Q: What is one of the biggest pieces of advice you wish you had as a new instructor?
Establish your authority and boundaries early, avoid becoming friends with students or sharing personal contact outside of rehearsal, and seek mentorship to learn how to pace and structure your program.
Episode 28: Things I Wish I Knew as a Young/New Instructor
Q: Before we get started, could you introduce yourself to everyone?
Jen McPherson-Jones shares her background from Florida to Virginia, now serving as movement caption head at George Mason University Open Class Winter Guard, and discusses her path into teaching and leadership.
Episode 35: Program Showcase American Fork HS
Q: How has stepping into the director role affected your season and responsibilities?
The transition has been great but daunting, with a lot of logistical challenges; yet the staff and students have made it manageable and special, and support from the band director and others has been crucial.
Episode 29: The Marching Pageantry Arts Museum
Q: What sparked the change of the museum's name and its broader focus?
The shift came from a desire to broaden beyond Bill Ives's own name and to embrace a wider umbrella—horns, drums, pageantry—so the collection could encompass all related artifacts and genres, creating a more comprehensive, educational resource.
Episode 30: Listener Q&A
Q: What would you change about the scoring system or judging?
Explain the five stand-alone GE judges plus the floor judge structure; emphasize consistency and transparency, and potentially simplify categories for accessibility.
