On A Water Break Podcast | S4EP44

Marching band, color guard and winter guard news with Cynthia Bernard,
Dalton Stout and Jeremy Svoboda.

Two Oklahoma State Cowboy Marching Band members were injured by objects
thrown from the stands, Independence High School's 76th Cavalry Marching
Band and Color Guard in San Jose was suspended, and the panel remembers
Patrick Stewart's 2006 appearance with the University of Michigan Marching
Band.

Dalton's 60 Second Tech Block covers technique in character, while Water We
Doing?! explores mentorship, whether younger winter guards are being pushed
into A Class too soon, and inconsistent marching band classifications.

Gush & Go celebrates the start of winter guard season, student resilience,
and creating programs around the performers you actually have.
