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!
