## Resource

Your All-Access Pass to the Marching Arts. DCI 2026 tour tickets are live, a Minnesota band director is stepping into politics, and summer marching camps are already making noise. This week on On A Water Break , Ashlee Amos, Bobbey Biddle, Bill “Woody” Woodward, and Haley Harrington break down four timely stories from across the activity, then jump into a 60 Second Tech Block that turns into a very real conversation about last-minute packing, freezing bus rides, and surviving tour prep. The panel also unloads in Water We Doing?! with hot takes on winter activities running into May, spring concerts happening way too early, not drinking enough water, and the pressure of cleaning championship performances. Gush and Go closes things out with love for WGI teams, travel wins, live event coverage, and local programs building momentum.
