Before the world knew Latrice Royale from RuPaul’s Drag Race, she was spinning with Alliance of Miami Winter Guard, performing in the legendary Hotel California show and learning what it means to put her heart on the floor.

In this special edition of On A Water Break With…, Latrice sits down with Ricardo Robinson-Shinall and Jeremy Williams to share how her marching-arts roots shaped everything that came after — the discipline, the storytelling, and the confidence that fueled her rise as a performer and drag icon.

From unforgettable Alliance memories and the hilarious “1900s” moment to finding belonging, artistry, and self-expression through color guard, this conversation celebrates how the activity continues to inspire lives far beyond the gym floor.

Latrice also talks about returning to WGI with AMP Winter Guard, connecting with a new generation of performers, and how those early lessons still drive her work on stages around the world.
