Om denne podkasten
Welcome to After Sectionals, the podcast about all things band recorded when it's fresh on our minds. We come to you from the Stiles MS band hall - home of chickens and lost tuners. Join our staff (Darcy Vogt Williams, Jenna Yee, and TJ West) as we talk band pedagogy, talk smack, and everything in between right after sectionals.
