Welcome to The Program, your deep dive into the sounds, visuals, and ideas driving the marching arts forward. We don’t just watch the show. We break it down, tear it apart, and celebrate the art of marching design.

This week on The Program, hosts Daniel Montoya Jr., William Bradfield, and Aaron Blackley give their picks for rounds 3 & 4 of the DCI World Champions Bracket (March Bandness), discuss the conflict in Iran and its possible effect on WGI Championships, give their thoughts and predictions on WGI Percussion Championships, and more!
