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!

Inside Band Camp - Part 2
Inside Band Camp – Part 2: The Students’ Story
In this continuation of our immersive band camp series, we shift the focus to the students — the heart and soul of every program. You'll hear directly from the student leadership team as they open up about how band has shaped their identity, challenged them to grow, and taught them lessons far beyond music.
Next, go inside a color guard sectional where we meet McKinley, the group's caption head — a former student of this very band camp who now returns as an instructor, helping to shape the next generation with the same energy and commitment that once inspired her.
We also have the priveledge to introduce the powerful story of Jaxon Landfair, a beloved former student whose spirit continues to live on in this program. Jaxon’s parents, Jay and Jessica Landfair, join us to share the story of their son — his passion for music, the impact band had on his life, their journey through his Leukemia diagnosis, and the strength it took to stay hopeful through it all. Their words are heartfelt, courageous, and unforgettable.
Whether you're a band parent, student, alumni, or supporter, this episode offers a powerful reminder: band is more than just notes on a page — it's family, resilience, and legacy.
