BandWagon

What makes BANDWAGON different from other band-related podcasts? Rather than focusing only on music education topics, it’s meant for anybody who ever did band. And in a world where not everybody “gets” band, it can be a challenge for people who do. With news, commentary, and advocacy from the band world (concert and marching; scholastic, community, and service bands), and entertaining conversations with band leaders and participants alike ... this podcast aims to create community through band: to be a resource and a refuge for band geeks.

Rob Hammerton, host

Drawing on his experience in scholastic bands as a participant, instructor and designer, his more than two decades as a church musician, his work as a college band director, and his current work as a community band conductor, Rob has broad insight into the world of winds and percussion -- and yet there's so much more he wants to learn!
