Your All-Access Pass to the Marching Arts.

Before the world knew Latrice Royale from RuPaul’s Drag Race, she was a color guard performer building a life through Magic of Orlando, Sundowners, Blue Stars and Alliance of Miami Winter Guard.

In this major OAWB With conversation, Latrice joins Ricardo Robinson-Shinall and Jeremy Williams to revisit the legendary Alliance of Miami Hotel California production, the marching-arts community that became her safe haven, and the moment drag became her next performance outlet.

Latrice explains how color guard taught her pacing, theatrical storytelling, audience control and the importance of creating a beginning, middle and end. She also discusses bringing guard performers into professional stage productions, paying marching artists for their work, returning to WGI with AMP Winter Guard and why entertainment value should never be treated as secondary.

The conversation includes her 32 Count Life Story, Mother Knows advice about living with intention, Water We Doing?! discussions about visual sameness, technique and missed crossover opportunities, and updates on her international performance career.

Featuring Latrice Royale, Ricardo Robinson-Shinall and Jeremy Williams. Presented by Guard Closet.
