As the school year wraps up, the Band Dads dive into a two-part reflection packed with insight, sarcasm, and heart. In Part 1, Scott makes a bold claim—music education might just be the most useless curriculum in school... and also the most valuable place your child can be. Confused? Perfect. That’s exactly where the conversation begins.
Part 1 focuses on the marching season, the Band Dads unpack the real takeaways from a year in band by exploring big questions like:
– What value did we get?
– What lessons did we learn?
– Can you learn something new doing the exact same thing you did the year before?
– Does your grade level change the value you receive?
– Who figures it out first—the kids or the parents?
Whether you’re a band parent, student, educator, or just someone who loves a good deep dive with a side of dad humor, this episode kicks off a thoughtful look at what the year in music education really gave us.
A huge thank you to the Pride of Yukon Bands for their phenomenal custom intro—easily one of the highlights of the season!
