Steff & Renée discuss The Metallica Marching Band competition and hear from Virginia Tech’s Athletic Musical Director, Polly Middleton, how The Marching Virginians create their stadium-shaking interpretation of “Enter Sandman.” Then, on this week’s DanLoad, we dive deep into the world of “Shadowcast” and other related Load Deluxe Box Set morsels centering around ideas, rough takes, and alternate versions of the Load album songs.
