Measure 18: the Art of the Guard

Band Room Therapy · Sep 3, 2026 · 1h 3m

This episode of Band Room Therapy Podcast is all about color guard and why it matters to the full marching band experience. Mr. Ashley is joined by Dalton Stout, Mrs. Lavonne Pearson, and Jeremy Williams for a practical conversation on recruiting, inclusion, fundamentals, leadership, and building a healthy guard culture.

We discuss how to value color guard as artists and educators, not just as an add-on to the band. The conversation also digs into what band directors should know if they want their guard to succeed, especially when resources are limited.
