Your All-Access Pass to the Marching Arts.

This week on Water Break Weekly, we’re hitting Marching Arts News (DCI Annual Meeting chatter + the DCI 2026 “Mega Monday” ticket drop) and then going straight into a STAFF REALITY CHECK: how we prepare new instructors, what safety standards programs should be taking seriously, and why practicing the full “show flow” matters more than people want to admit.
