    Trent Buglewicz and Nolan Henkle

    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!

    Scott Dugdale and Brian Johnson

    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.

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!
