That means people involved with marching bands, concert bands, wind ensembles … school bands, community bands, service bands … People who enjoy band music. People who enjoy band life.
Being a person who “gets” band can be a challenge in a world full of people who don’t.
We have to support each other. We have to create our own little BANDWAGON.
That's this podcast. A resource and a refuge for band geeks.
