Meet two of the pioneer woodwind soloists in DCI history here on The 8 to 5 Club! In this special double-feature, we get the inside scoop with Blue Knights oboe soloist Sammy Gonzalez and Blue Devils sax soloist Miguel Flores-Padilla. From the initial surprise of the 2025 rule change all the way through Lucas Oil finals, find out how these performers developed their musicality, dialed their equipment setup, dealt with criticism (and praise), and more!
