Marching arts news you’ll hear talked about at rehearsal — on a water
break. This week, Grantis, Dalton, and Amari break down WGI 2026 updates
(including the WGI Judges Summit) plus the newly announced Metallica
Marching Band Competition collegiate winners.

You’ll also hear why the Music for All Advocacy in Action Awards matter
for smaller programs, what the WGI Advisory Board does, and a Water We
Doing?! that’s a must-listen for staff culture: “care about your kids…
teach them and help them grow.”
