A Podcast for Marching Arts Enthusiasts — On the Field, In the Stands & Behind the Scenes.
Marching arts news moves fast, and this week the panel takes on two stories reaching well beyond the rehearsal field: the ICE detention of Maria Rosales after a trip to Boston with members of her performing team, and a packed national championship season for baton twirling.
Ashlee Amos leads Bill “Woody” Woodward, Bobbey Biddle, Kim Webb and Haley Harrington through the news, a practical 60-Second Tech Block for band directors, and a Water We Doing?! conversation about DCI streaming, ensemble culture, burnout and the way performers are treated online.
THIS WEEK’S PANEL
Ashlee Amos — @famousamossss_
Bill “Woody” Woodward — @remoking100
Bobbey Biddle — @bobbeyboy107
Kim Webb — @kimpossible413
Haley Harrington — @h_harrington14
IN THE NEWS
- The detention of Maria Rosales at Boston Logan Airport and what the story means for educators traveling with performers, students who are afraid for their families and adults responsible for keeping young people safe.
- Inside baton twirling’s national championship season, including the U.S. National Baton Twirling Championships, America’s Youth on Parade, Miss Majorette of America, Grand National competition and international qualification for the Nations Cup, World Championships and Inspiration Cup.
60-SECOND TECH BLOCK
Kim Webb explains why singing and humming with your band can improve intonation, listening, intervals, phrasing and musicality. Her starting point is simple: if students cannot hear and sing the phrase, they are not ready to play it correctly.
WATER WE DOING?!
- West Coast DCI shows that begin near bedtime for East Coast viewers.
- Leaving color guard and percussion outside the full ensemble culture.
- Educators who never make room for a life beyond marching arts.
- What the Dallas Cowboys Cheerleaders documentary gets right about performers as athletes.
- Adults who criticize performers online for design decisions the performers did not make.
GUSH & GO
Bobbey celebrates a historic Miss Pennsylvania win for Miss Philadelphia, Haley finds a better way to stay hydrated, and Ashlee previews “Joyride,” her upcoming marching band production.

Color Guard Joins the Patti LaBelle Pride Celebration at Philadelphia Pride 2026.
In this Quick Sip, Trish O’Shea welcomes Dylan Watson back to On A Water Break to preview the Philly Pride 365 Colorguard and its role inside Philadelphia Pride 2026.
Dylan talks about building a bigger color guard production this year, including parade choreography, stage movement, dancing, Philly music, and a celebration connected to the music and legacy of Patti LaBelle.
Philadelphia Pride 2026 brings Pride on the Parkway to the Benjamin Franklin Parkway on Sunday, June 7, following March Into Pride in the Gayborhood. This year’s celebration honors Philadelphia icon Patti LaBelle with a tribute recognizing her musical legacy, cultural impact, and connection to LGBTQIA+ communities.
For Dylan, this is more than a parade feature. It is a chance to show audiences that color guard is a full production: visual, musical, emotional, and powerful.

This week on On A Water Break, Trish O’Shea is joined by Whitney Stone, Justin, and first-time guest Sha’Tara Robinson for a live WGI 2026 conversation packed with late-season energy, controversy, and real talk.
The panel digs into the biggest story still hanging over the activity — the Paramount situation and Independent Open waitlist fallout — before shifting into who has real momentum right now in Independent World and Scholastic World. Fusion gets major love, Vox Artium gets praised for a bold design turn, and the crew talks through Fantasia, AMP, Juxtaposition, Arcadia, Avon, The Woodlands, Center Grove, and more.
Later in the episode, Justin delivers a timely 60 Second Tech Block on the mental side of preparing for WGI week, and Water We Doing?! turns into one of the strongest segments of the episode with rants on petal tosses at the tarp edge, low volume at contests, costume shipping chaos, rewriting shows at the last minute, and valuing flash over technique.

- Fusion, Fantasia, Vox Artium, AMP, and Independent World buzz
- Arcadia, Avon, The Woodlands, and the Scholastic World race
- Scores vs momentum heading into Dayton

WGI 2026 + DCI 2026 updates for marching arts fans: open drum corps positions, WGI Silent Auction dates, and a community music story from Minneapolis.
Your All-Access Pass to the Marching Arts.
WGI season is coming fast — and the calendar is moving even faster than it feels. In this Water Break Weekly, Stephen McCarrick, Anne Turner, and Jeremy Denzer break down the biggest marching arts headlines you actually need right now: DCI’s “March Drum Corps” list of open 2026 positions, the official dates for the WGI Sponsor Silent Auction, and a feature on Brass Solidarity in Minneapolis that highlights how music can hold community together.
If you’re in color guard, indoor percussion, marching band, or drum corps (or you staff, judge, teach, or parent your way through the activity), this episode is a practical check-in for the stretch run toward Dayton: what’s happening, where to click, and what it means for performers and programs.
What this episode answers:
- Where can I find open drum corps positions for 2026 auditions right now?
- What is the “March Drum Corps” initiative and who is it meant to help?
- When is the 2026 WGI Sponsor Silent Auction (Mar 23–27) and where do I view the items?
- Why does WGI season feel compressed this year — and how are people adjusting?
- What does “taking a break” look like when the schedule never stops?
- How do you keep a show concept clear without writing a whole thesis?
Topics we hit (fast + searchable):
- WGI 2026 timing + regional momentum
- Drum corps recruiting + open positions for the 2026 summer season
- WGI fundraising + sponsor support (silent auction)
- Performing arts community support + music in public spaces
- Show design clarity: concept depth vs. audience connection
- Staff life + mental reset when “there’s always one more thing”

College baton twirling, WGI updates, and routine advice you can use this week.
Ashlee, Woody, Haley, and April (college twirling focus) cover this week's marching arts headlines — including the Broward/WGI situation — then go deep on how twirlers can keep improving in college: where to practice, how to break down reps, and how to avoid burnout from too many routines.
In this episode, you'll get:
* How to find practice space in college (band rooms, gyms, parking garages, local businesses)
* A step-by-step approach to cleaning routines: break it down, rep it smart, build consistency
* A twirling-focused burnout conversation: too many routines, injury risk, and losing the joy
* The Broward/WGI update and why it mattered mid-season
* A judging feedback rant that applies across twirling, guard, and percussion
Transcript quotes:
"The biggest piece of advice I have is make best friends with the wreck or different areas on campus that you can go and drill with."
"Then when it comes to perfecting your routines, break it down. Take your time... Don't overwhelm yourself."

Your All-Access Pass to the Marching Arts. Water Break Weekly is back for Season 4 — and we’re kicking off 2026 with major DCI headlines, WGI updates, and a parade performance story that proves marching artists are built different. Christopher Rutt is joined by Bobbey Biddle, Dalton Stout, Grantis Peranda, and Amari Lewis to talk Boston Crusaders’ historic championship run, what’s coming next in 2026, WGI’s continued focus on training and safety, and the rain-soaked Rose Parade performances that had everyone grinding through seven miles with zero resets.
Segments:
• News Block: DCI recap + what 2026 could bring, WGI’s 2025 season recap and 2026 updates, Rose Parade 2026 rain performance stories, Philly Mummers Parade weather impact, and Harriman High School’s field show inspired by Vincent Lima — with the artist showing up in person.
• 60-Second Tech Block: Dalton Stout on Effective Conditioning — what it should actually do, and why “just doing something” isn’t the same as training for performance.
• Water We Doing?! Rehearsal schedules that don’t exist, repeating the same show ideas, the lack of med staff support at rehearsals, and costuming choices that don’t account for real bodies.
• Gush & Go: Shoutouts from judging and choreography life to WGI/DCI weekends, plus love for every Rose Parade performer who pushed through the weather.

Your All-Access Pass to the Marching Arts. A Podcast for Marching Arts Enthusiasts — On the Field, In the Stands & Behind the Scenes.
This week, we’re celebrating the world of parades—the traditions, the chaos, the unexpected moments, and the marching arts culture behind them. Jackie, Jack, Grantis, and Jeremy take a full tour through America’s most iconic parades, sharing stories from the street, expert opinions, and tips every band and guard should know before stepping off.
We dig into everything from national spectacles like the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade, Rose Parade, and Mardi Gras to regional favorites including the Mummers Parade, Cherry Blossom Parade, Gatlinburg Midnight Parade, Bristol 4th of July, Lodi Grape Festival, Portland Grand Floral Parade, Detroit’s Thanksgiving traditions, the Hollywood Christmas Parade, and the highly competitive California parade circuit.
Whether you love parades for the pageantry, the community connection, or the pure unpredictability (yes—goats, llamas, feathers, wine fountains, and more), this episode has something for everyone.
What We Cover Why parades matter for school culture, community presence, and recruitment * Parade memories that shaped each panelist * The role of drum majors and block structure on a moving route * What makes the Rose Parade turn so intimidating * How Mardi Gras float builders create parade magic * Why Philly’s Mummers Parade is still unmatched in personality * What directors overlook: spacing, alignment, showmanship, and audience impact * The difference between competitive parade judging and community performance*
60-Second Tech BlockJack Goudreau delivers a full breakdown of how to build a proper parade block, covering interval control, step-off technique, first-step mechanics, subdivision, and how body alignment affects sound and visual clarity.
Water We Doing?!Jeremy questions why parade blocks cater to judges instead of the audience. Grantis talks about students who join band for connection, not competition. Jack calls out unsafe guard/band collisions and poor spacing on parade routes.
Gush & GoThe panel shares end-of-season highlights, life updates, creative inspiration, and their excitement for wrapping up Season 3 and stepping into Season 4.

We’ll see you next rehearsal — On A Water Break.
Your All-Access Pass to the Marching Arts.
This week, Ricardo and Trish welcome two standout guests:
Kenai Central High School Band Director Christian Stefanos (@akbanddirector) — whose band traveled from Alaska to BOA Grand Nationals — and TikTok creator & performer Taylor Greatbatch (@greatbatchofcookies).
Christian breaks down what it took to build a marching band from scratch, fundraise across a state the size of a continent, and take a small-town Alaska program onto the national stage in Indianapolis. Taylor shares what it’s like teaching in one of Kentucky’s lowest-income districts, why BOA experiences matter for rural kids, and how marching band shaped their entire career across theater and performance.
Then the whole panel dives into a packed NEWS segment featuring:
• BOA Grand Nationals Finals breakdown
• DCI 2025 schedule
• HBCU Band of the Year finalists
• 2025 Dunkin’ Thanksgiving Parade bands
• 2025 Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade lineup
Christian takes on the 60-Second Tech Block with “How to Build a Marching Band From the Ground Up.” Taylor unleashes a viral-worthy rant about Broadway-level marching band shows (“I should not have to have a PhD to understand your marching band show, girl!”), and Ricardo drops a scorched-earth message to the Avon haters who have been trashing kids online after BOA Finals.
The episode closes with a heartfelt Gush & Go, including:
• The Spartans preparing for the Macy’s Parade
• Christian’s students getting national love
• Ricardo’s district-wide arts expos inspiring the next generation
• Kentucky band programs celebrating major milestones

From honoring a legend to surviving burnout in the band room — this week’s On A Water Break is a heart-forward deep dive into the realities of teaching, grieving, and slaying the glam game.
🎙 Hosted by Nicole Younger, with guests Ricardo Robinson-Shinall, Whitney Stone, Trish O’Shea, and doctoral candidate Ryan Bronner, this episode brings equal parts sparkle and soul.
💔 We begin with a tribute to Bruno Zuccala, a beloved figure in the color guard world whose recent passing has left a deep impact on our community. Panelists reflect on his legacy, share personal memories, and talk about the importance of showing up for each other in grief — especially in a performance culture that often pushes feelings aside.

- 60-Second Tech Block with Whitney’s top-tier makeup tips for sweat-proof performances
- 32 Count Life Story with Ryan Bronner (Patriots, college teaching, LGBTQ+ mental health research)
- Water We Doing?! rants on toxic teaching culture, DCI staff drama, and performing in unsafe heat
- Gush & Go: From TikTok shopping fails to massive teaching wins, wardrobe swaps, and doctoral milestones
💬 QUOTES FROM THIS EPISODE:“We’ve got to grieve out loud. We’re allowed to take up space.”
— Ryan Bronner“Band kids are out here melting, and directors are pretending everything’s normal.”
— Ricardo Robinson-Shinall“Bruno was the sparkle. He was the performance.”

The team kicks things off with their 32 Count Life Stories and a fun icebreaker: “What part of the marching band are you?” Clara relives her gold-medal summer with the Boston Crusaders, Dalton shares his journey from Nebraska to Colorado and launching DVS Choreo, and Eric spotlights his 20+ years of teaching and his work with Drumline Network.
In the News Block, we cover:

- A stolen band trailer in Colorado and tips for protecting your equipment
- PASIC 2025 announcements featuring RhythmX and George Mason
Dalton delivers the 60-Second Tech Block on choreography hacks, and in Water We Doing?! the crew takes on audition nerves, teaching leadership in a post-COVID generation, body shaming in DCI, and the importance of ensemble unity. The episode wraps with Gush & Go, highlighting Boston’s first DCI championship, new percussion challenges, and student success stories.

This week on On A Water Break, Alicia Sharp (@aliciaoninsta2), Nicole Younger (@o2bnpjs), and special guests Angela & Adam Miller from Meridian Independent Winter Guard take us from the earliest days of cadet guard training to the thrill of performing at WGI World Championships. We talk about how they’ve built a program where members start in 3rd grade, stick around for years, and grow into confident, high-level performers.
In the News, we dive into:
• Heat safety in marching band after 11 Mississippi students collapsed during extreme temperatures — and why policies for football don’t always apply to band.
• WGI’s new Regional Plus events launching in 2026 — double panels, more feedback, and what it means for performers and instructors.
• Rumblings about WGI’s new judges training platform and why mentorship matters for future adjudicators.
Angela also takes on our 60-Second Tech Block with rapid-fire tips for teaching cadet guard, we all vent in Water We Doing?! about swing flag rules, prop setup times, last-minute show orders, and the epidemic of open-mouth performing, and then we end with some big smiles in Gush & Go.

This week on On a Water Break, Nicole Younger is back hosting a twirl-tastic episode packed with passion, performance, and positivity! She’s joined by Ashlee Amos and Ohio State’s own Jacob Cline (@jacob.cline.161), and they’re diving into everything from the pipeline between twirling and color guard to the world of college twirling auditions and what it's like being a male twirler building a platform and community online.
💥 Kicking things off with Jacob’s 32-Count Life Story, we learn how this multi-title-holding performer went from small-town drum major to the United States Twirling Open Collegiate Champion. Ashlee and Nicole get into the evolution of presentation, performance pressure, and what really sets the college twirling experience apart.
📰 In this week’s news:
- Nicole shares details on InstructorDatabase.com, a new global platform for marching arts professionals
- Ashlee brings updates from USBands, who are looking for fall event staff across 80+ contests
- Jacob announces Team USA for the 2025 IBTF World Championship in Italy!
🎶 [CUE TECH BLOCK MUSIC]
In our 60-Second Tech Block, Jacob breaks down the three pillars of preparing for college twirling auditions: presentation, practice, and performance videos. From dirt patches in the backyard to nailing facial expressions, it's a crash course in how to stand out for the right reasons.
❓ WHAT ARE WE DOING?!
Ashlee calls out the twirling world for lacking musicality and encourages better connection to sound, rhythm, and expression. Jacob has a powerful message for OSU: “Why aren’t twirlers on the field?” Nicole turns the lens on herself as she preps for another summer with The Academy... and hasn’t packed.
🌟 GUSH & GO:
- Nicole celebrates a new summer role working with leadership at Academy
- Jacob shares his growth on social media as a platform for twirling visibility
- Ashlee gushes over her rising star student and new color guard captain, Bella

On this episode of On A Water Break we tackle a powerful and often unspoken issue in the activity: body shaming.
Host Nicole Younger (@o2binpjs) is joined by co-hosts Alicia Sharp (@aliciaoninsta2) and Whitney Stone (@dancerwhit), alongside guest clinicians Carlos Herrera (@hellocarlosxd) and Erik Longey (@itsspelledwithak), for an emotional and honest discussion on body image, staff expectations, and how size discrimination shows up in the marching arts.
From traumatic uniform fittings and audition comments to the struggle of masking and the impact of a single sentence, each guest shares personal stories and reflects on how we can all do better as educators, performers, and leaders. They also spotlight organizations offering real support, like Melanin Mosaic, the WGI Participant Protection system, and RISE (Resource for Instruction, Safety & Education).

This week, Nicole (@o2bnpjs) is joined by Whitney (@dancerwhit) and Alicia (@aliciaoninsta2) for an episode packed with big announcements, fresh perspectives, and two exciting new voices joining the sidelines!
We’re thrilled to welcome guest clinicians Carlos Herrera (@hellocarlosxd) and Erik Longey (@itsspelledwithak) to the podcast! They each share their 32 Count Life Stories — from band kid beginnings to taking leadership roles in the marching arts.

🎙️ QUICK SIP: A WGI Love Story — The Tampa Independent Proposal 💍
We’re kicking off our Quick Sip bonus series with a love story straight from retreat! Ricardo sits down with Tampa Independent’s very own Madison Nelson (@maddylynn22) and John Shirella (@drummerboymercy), whose surprise proposal at WGI Finals had the crowd (and their teammates) cheering and crying all at once. 💍💙
From their 32 Count Life Stories to their first days teaching at River Ridge High School, this episode spills all the tea — including how the whole thing went down, the behind-the-scenes nerves, and how press-on nails almost became the real emergency. 😂
We also chat about what it’s like being in a relationship where pageantry always comes first, why it actually works, and how they balance rehearsals, performances, and life together.
✨ Then we dive into Water We Doing?, where Maddie comes in hot about VE shoes that don’t let you point your feet (jazz shoe nation rise up), and John’s ready to cancel those booming metronome speakers in the lot. And yes, Ricardo might finally be convinced to stop complaining about percussion people in the lot… maybe.
💖 Finally, they wrap things up with a Gush and Go that celebrates the next chapter in their lives — together.
