BandWagon

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.

A remembrance from my ancient blog, of color guard designer/instructor Donnie Jenness. He led indoor guards up and down the eastern seaboard, and was the guard instructor at Temple University and the University of Delaware. He was “tough love” personified. He passed away on March 21, 2009, at the age of 46 – fifteen years ago, this Friday.

Rob Hammerton, host

Drawing on his experience in scholastic bands as a participant, instructor and designer, his more than two decades as a church musician, his work as a college band director, and his current work as a community band conductor, Rob has broad insight into the world of winds and percussion -- and yet there's so much more he wants to learn!
