Your All-Access Pass to the Marching Arts.

DCI Finals week is here, and On A Water Break starts with the weekend that set it up. Chris Rutt returns from Allentown while Whitney Stone and associate producer Jeremy Svoboda join the conversation about the DCI Eastern Classic, where Bluecoats scored 96.825 on July 31 to tie the all-time J. Birney Crum Stadium record set by the 2014 Blue Devils.

The episode also covers the late-season race around the Finals cutoff, Blue Devils and Blue Stars in Allentown, WGI’s July Board of Directors decisions for 2027, Music for All appointing Anne Fennell as Senior Director of Education, concerns raised by Denver School of the Arts students and families, and Phantom Regiment’s 70th anniversary alumni corps heading into championship week.
