    If Being a Band Director Came with a Warning Label

    Doug and Jason are back with a brand new season of podcasts! If you could buy the job of "Band Director" on the store shelf, what would the warning label say? Better yet...what would we ignore? Would we really ingest Tide pods, eat a cup of cinnamon, or take the ghost pepper challenge? Join us for this Season 4 Episode 1 of Band Hacks!

    Designers, Communication, and Explosives!

    Have you ever had a designer say or agree to one thing, and completely miss or blow the deadlines/expectations...then act like it was no big deal? Doug and Jason look closely at items to consider as you are in talks with a new or current designer for your marching band. This is very much a "on the soap-box" episode as we look at some of the traps we can fall into unknowingly and unintentionally. We think you will enjoy it!
