Preaching to the Choir Show Collective

Today's episode features Trent Buglewicz and Nolan Henkle, two incredible Iowa directors who have known each other since college, direct rival Varsity show choirs, and are still best of friends (or hate each other, as you'll hear in the first five minutes 😂). There would be no better way to end a season on collaboration than with these two stellar humans. Enjoy!

Our next collab works together, EVERYDAY! Scott and Brian are the directors at Papillion La-Vista South High School in Papillion, Nebraska. In the 7 years this duo has worked together, they have shown the midwest a new style of show choir that is full of amazing bands, stellar choreo, and music you can't help but get up and dance along with. There is SO much to learn from these two!

This episode collaborates with...YOU! For the past couple months on Show Collective socials, we've asked you, our listeners, to submit questions and pet peeve/rants for a future episode and this is the one! Join us as we dive into some we loved and hot topics surrounding show choir!

A different kind of duo on the podcast today! Though these two have never met, we are all part of a specific club called "Show Choir Mom/Directors." If you're thinking "I'm not a mom, so I don't need to listen," actually, that's exactly why you should. If you are a mom, listen and feel supported, and if you're not, listen in to learn about your mom-colleagues! 

Don't miss this smart, hilarious and thought-provoking convo with everyone's favorite choreo besties: Tori Brindis and Nick Quamme! Jen and the dynamic duo discuss everything from favorite ways of working to the sticky subject of pay scales. Join us for this wild ride!
