  • Great pod!

    Great podcast! BUT cool it with the sound effects. It adds absolutely nothing to the conversations being had and distracts from the purpose of discussing all things marching arts.

  • Work in Progress

    Avid podcast listener - couple of quick notes for y’all:

    - work on that sound equalization. The mix isn’t mixed. Microphones are a work in progress, but when I have to crank the volume to listen to one section and frantically lower it in another isn’t great.

    - who is speaking? Literally, we hear first names but no one is announced in full at the top of the show.

    - the special guests aren’t also (consistently) fully named. If I want to follow them, I have no way to do so outside doing a deep d... more

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Quiet Spin Anchor System Fixes Rattling Color Guard Flagpoles | OAWB Quick Sip
Q: What inspired you to create this, and how did you iterate to the current design?
The creator's daughter's involvement in guard led to frustration with tape and noise; after many iterations (around 45), the final design addressed centering, silent operation, and durability.
Quiet Spin Anchor System Fixes Rattling Color Guard Flagpoles | OAWB Quick Sip
Q: So Bob, SouthEnd Precision, I was looking at the website. Do you have a sense of how this product might impact everyday rehearsal and performance routines?
Bob explains that the Quiet Spin Anchors dramatically reduce or eliminate rattling, save time on taping, and are reusable across different bolt sizes, with simple installation and adjustability.
2026 WGI World Class Performers: Juxtaposition, Alta Marea & AMP (OAWB With Bonus)
Q: What is something you've had to learn the hard way as a world-class performer?
Balance and prioritize life outside of performance, including jobs, school, and teaching, while still maintaining the rigorous rehearsal schedule; it's essential to fit everything in and sustain long-term involvement.
2026 WGI World Class Performers: Juxtaposition, Alta Marea & AMP (OAWB With Bonus)
Q: What would you tell someone who's coming to audition for your group next year?
Be confident, be ready to learn, and understand that two seasons are very different; stay flexible and busy with diverse commitments. For AMP, focus on soaking up information, being fearless, and showing you can take risks.
Color Guard Fitness & Injury Prevention | Spin Strong’s Devon Kugler (Quick Sip)
Q: Why keep everything free and how will you sustain growth?
