In this episode of the Band Dads Podcast, our guest is none other than Darrin Davis, one of the most respected and influential minds in the marching arts — current DCI and Bands of America judge, and the former director of the legendary Pride of Broken Arrow, where he led the program to four BOA Grand National Championships.
After setting the stage with our deep dive into band camp (including three episodes inside the action), we now shift our focus to the heart of the marching season: the show itself. In "From Design to Day One", we explore the entire creative journey of a marching band production — from the very first spark of an idea up to the moment students arrive at band camp.
What comes first, the story or the music? How do themes, uniforms, props, and drill all come together? Which staff are involved, and when do the key decisions happen? And could we even see an AI-generated show in the future?
Get ready for insider insight from one of the industry’s best, explained in a way that both band veterans and first-time parents can understand and appreciate!
Special thanks to The Sound of Brownsburg Marching Band from Brownsburg High School for the excellent introduction for this episode.
