What makes BANDWAGON different from other band-related podcasts? Rather than focusing only on music education topics, it's meant for anybody who ever did band. And in a world where not everybody 'gets' band, it can be a challenge for people who do. With news, commentary, and advocacy from the band world (concert and marching; scholastic, community, and service bands), and entertaining conversations with band leaders and participants alike ... this podcast aims to create community through band: to be a resource and a refuge for band geeks.MORE Producer/Network Robert G.
