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 3
Inside Band Camp – Part 3: This is the end my friend
In the final installment of our band camp docu-series, we continue into the sounds, sweat, and spirit of the high school marching experience. This episode kicks off inside a battery percussion sectional, where you'll not only hear the drive of the drumline but also get a breakdown of the lingo and learn what all that rhythmic jargon really means.
We also shine a spotlight on the true MVPs behind the scenes — our Booster Band Moms, who spent their entire Saturday fitting uniforms for every single student in the program. Their dedication keeps the band moving (and looking sharp), and it's time they got their flowers.
In a spontaneous twist, Chris finds Scott hanging out at camp, leading to a raw, unscripted Band Dads conversation recorded live and unfiltered — just two dads soaking in the experience.
We then drop in on an inspiring clinic led by acclaimed educator Mark Richardson, Assistant Director of the Sun Devil Marching Band and founder of The Academy Drum & Bugle Corps. His insight and energy offer a masterclass in musicianship and motivation.
Finally, we close out with the band directors themselves, reflecting on the week: What went well? What didn’t? Did they accomplish what they hoped? What’s the vibe moving forward? Their reflections bring full-circle closure to the camp experience — and set the tone for the season ahead.
Whether you've been with us since Part 1 or you're jumping in now, this episode is a celebration of the people, passion, and purpose that make band camp unforgettable.
