What if the curtain call wasn’t just for the cast?

Welcome to SoundstageEDU — a podcast for the parents, directors, students, and techs who make fine arts happen long before the lights ever come up.

Hosted by Mike DeJohn — live event producer, drumline instructor, and founder of SoundstageEDU — this show is where culture, burnout, and behind-the-scenes chaos meet real talk and practical change.

🎭 Every episode unpacks what it really takes to build healthy, sustainable fine arts programs — from marching band and theater to boosters and backstage life.

And to every parent who feels unseen… we see you.
You are the reason the show can go on.
This is your curtain call.

✨ SoundstageEDU — building culture, building community, and raising the bar… together.
