## Resource

The OAWB crew dives into a massive week for the marching arts, from record-breaking facility investments to historic Hall of Fame inductions. We also get a masterclass in bass drum tech and tackle the "drama" of mid-season reclassifications. Highlights: Details on the University of South Alabama’s new $13M ensemble hall and practice field. Celebrating Wayne Markworth as the first-ever WGI Winds Hall of Fame inductee. How to muffle bass drums to avoid the "trash can" sound in a gym. The logistical nightmare of being bumped a class two weeks before Dayton. Joey’s takeaway from the HBCU Southern Classic Battle of the Bands.
