Your All-Access Pass to the Marching Arts.
This week, we’re bringing the joy, the inspiration, and the sparkle 💫
We meet Finley — a 4-year-old obsessed with the Ohio State University Marching Band — whose “drum major energy” is already making waves. Then, author and LGBTQ+ advocate Jase Peeples joins the pod to talk about his children’s book Twirl — a heartwarming story about embracing your sparkle, building confidence, and redefining what it means to shine on your own terms.
Plus: co-host Jade Rhode shares a powerful 32-count life story, Josh Smith and Nicole Younger break down burnout in the band world, and we preview all-age excitement ahead of DCA Finals.
💡 This one’s about lifting up sideline stars, celebrating twirlers, and seeing the joy in every band kid’s journey.
