  • Great for students too!

    I’ve learned so much listening to directors like Mr. lambert and Mr. young talk about their craft. They show genuine passion for teaching and it is incredibly refreshing as a student in marching band!

  • Cleanse the Band Brain

    They’re such masters of their fields and speak so calmly and professionally. This is a great drive to work podcast with so many ideas and best practices that any Director can use immediately.

    Even a good re-listen as the school year starts and events come about. The titles of each episode are clearly defined so you can revisit easily.

    Thanks That Band Life guys!
