Welcome in everybody to THE LAST EPISODE for The Summer Series Edition of the Meet The Bus Podcast!

This final episode wraps up on one of the best DCI seasons I’ve seen in a while. 2024 was a summer that put the activity back on the map in my opinion as so many groups put their best shows to date on the field, and it’s got me in high spirits about what’s to come for the future of Drum Corps International.

I made sure to include as much as I could from experience in Indy over the two days I was there, but my phone was on 10% for the last 4 corps, so I had to use my videos sparingly! I also give my closing remarks on the Top 12 after seeing everyone live, and I give a sneak peak into the future of Meet The Bus.

Thank you all for watching and supporting us over the summer! I hope you’ve all enjoyed the series, and please let us know down below if there's something you'd like us to cover during the offseason as we head into the 2025 season.

P.S- DROP YOUR Q’s DOWN BELOW BECAUSE I MIGHT DO A Q&A VIDEO IF YOU GUYS WOULD LIKE THAT :)

Welcome in everybody to The Summer Series Edition of the Meet The Bus Podcast!

In today's episode, we're keeping it short and sweet. I got word from a good friend from my time at Blue Knights, Juan Rutiaga, that he volunteered for the week during Texas Tour and put some videos together of the corps. I also sat down for a fun conversation with Joey Teixeira where we recapped the Atlanta Regional as well as our overall thoughts on the shows and rankings.

Lastly, I AM GOING TO BE IN INDIANAPOLIS FOR FINALS WEEK!!

Well...at least Thursday and Friday! It's going to be my first time since I was in the activity that I'll be watching drum corps at Lucas Oil, and it's going to be a blast!

I hope you guys enjoyed this episode of the Summer Series! Let us know down below if there's something you'd like us to cover this 2024 season or anything you might want to see on this channel!

Welcome in everybody to The Summer Series Edition of the Meet The Bus Podcast!

We are back again for a PACKED episode of drum corps, so I hope you got your popcorn ready!

For today's episode, I started by recapping the beginning of the 2024 DCI Season, and where groups are stacking up in the rankings as we head into the San Antonio Regional. We then kick it to some early tour content from 2 DIFFERENT SHOWS!! I got the opportunity to get some coverage from the DCI Muncie show that started the 2024 season, and it was such a blast to be a fan again. I got to see so many old friends and teachers of mine who are now flourishing in all different areas of the activity. I made sure to get everything from lot coverage, hornlines warming up in the lot, and some show chunks from all 6 corps who performed that night. We also have some more exclusive show content from returning guest of the podcast, Riley Fitzpatrick! Riley was out at the DCI Idaho show, and got some great clips of all the corps in attendance that night as well as a special encore from the Blue Knights!

We also got the opportunity to catch up with the member interviews again from our two stars, Matthew Iida and Alberto Paulino. I got to get some deeper insight into both The Blue Devils and Pacific Crest productions and how the groups are feeling after starting the competitive part of the season.

Before we wrapped for episode 2, I decided to bring on a special guest from The Guardians Visual Staff, Dylan Rider! We got into what's happening in their season this year and the challenges that Open Class groups face during the course of a whole summer.

I hope you guys enjoyed this episode of the Summer Series! Let us know down below if there's something you'd like us to cover this 2024 season or anything you might want to see on this channel!
