Lights Out: Recent Episodes
The Drum Corps Podcast
Its the end of a long day of drum corps, its just about time for lights out, but before you go to bed you're in the mood to just talk with your friends about what's on your mind, whether its humorous stories about how the tour bus broke down, or more serious topics about being pushed too far by staff.
Hosted by some of the same people that brought you the Drum Corps Podcast, Cyrus Heidary and Gareth Ramsey discuss various topics and stories alongside guests on Lights Out! The goal of this podcast is to unwind, vent about our experiences, and learn about how the activity can be better.
Gareth is joined by Daniel Belcher and Ricky Grasso to discuss: Why do drum corps separate the sleeping area by gender? Who are these policies for? How does it affect everyone involved and the culture of our activity as a whole?
