    Bluecoats Brass Podcast

    Insight straight from the team that makes the Bluecoats Brass happen! We’ve assembled a great team of music educators at the Bluecoats and we want to share some of our thoughts on brass pedagogy and drum corps in general. Whether you’re interested in auditioning, a former marcher, or a music educator just wanting to learn, we’re hoping we have something to offer. Episodes are released every other Monday. Look out for bonus content from the Bloo Brass during the summer DCI Tour!
