We’re back with fresh takes and fire updates:

Cynthia gives a full breakdown of her experience on the WGI Advisory Board—including new rules, international perspectives, and the importance of representation.
Stephen dives into the latest percussion updates and strobe light controversies.
Jeremy breaks down the summer’s biggest DCI show announcements and why corps secrecy is starting to feel a little ridiculous.

Plus, the gang discusses online equipment scams, consignment tips, and why your performers deserve better shoes and undergarments. Seriously.

60-Second Tech Block: Christine shares advice for choosing quality performance shoes.
Water We Doing? – Why aren’t more groups consigning old gear? And what’s up with show announcements coming late… even for members?
