Jen and Erik have a sobering conversation with Dr. Amy Bovin about women in the band directing profession, focusing on the secondary level. Dr. Bovin's research is the largest of its kind, reflecting on the experiences of more than 1,000 directors throughout the United States, and the data shows some disturbing trends for the band world. Dr. Bovin not only discusses her research findings, but the trio attempts to find ways that more women can be encouraged to join the profession and how they can be supported and uplifted in their crucial roles as teachers and mentors.
