The Band Dads Podcast

We want to hear from you! Send us your thoughts, questions, or anecdotes in email to feedback@banddadspodcast.com


Ever sat through a band concert wondering how your kid suddenly knows 12 instruments but still can’t find their shoes? Or nodded along as the band director explained “dot books” and “horn angles” like you weren’t completely lost? Then The Band Dad’s Podcast is for you!

Join us as we break down the wild, wonderful, and slightly chaotic world of band parenting with humor, sarcasm, and just enough actual knowledge to keep us from getting kicked out of the booster club. Whether you're a seasoned band parent or still figuring out what a “reed” is, we’ve got your back. Tune in—confusion loves company!

hey Band Dads. My name is Brian Hobbs. I found your pod and I’m catching up. I’m a brand new band director. I spent my early career as a music theatre professional, writing, arranging, and directing. I’ve decided to pivot to high school band and I could not be more at sea. No mentorship, no guidance, very little structure and I’ve been given the job of rebuilding a program decimated by bad teachers and the pandemic. It’s not an easy job. I’m preparing for my first band camp and marching season and all I can draw on is my own band experience (almost 30 years ago) and what I can find online. So I’m very eager to listen to your thoughts and experiences. Can’t wait to hear more. Btw, feel free to include any of this in a future pod. Maybe my band parents are listeners!
