On A Water Break: Water Break Weekly – DCI All-Age Spotlight

Welcome to On A Water Break—your sideline pass to the world of drum corps, marching band, color guard, and the marching arts! In this bonus “With” episode, host Stephen McCarrick sits down with Neal Bright, drummer for the Savannah Bananas Pep Band, to unpack six seasons of stunt drumming, pre-game pageantry, viral social-media fame—and the reality of balancing it all around a school-day teaching career.

Episode Segments

 * 32-Count Life Story
   Neal’s lightning-fast origin: Effingham, GA → Georgia Southern & West Georgia → middle-school band director → “one-off” summer gig → permanent spot in the Savannah Bananas Pep Band.
 * Inside the Show
   How the Bananas blend choreography, crowd interaction, stunt drumming and TikTok-worthy antics into every plaza rehearsal and in-game routine.
 * Water We Doing?
   A hot take on why marching-arts educators rarely mention paid entertainment-band careers—and why drumline skills can become a fun, income-generating side hustle.
 * Gush & Go
   Great news: Neal’s first child is due this December (banana-onesie ready!), plus a reminder about Stephen’s July 12 drum clinic at Rowan University.

ON A WATER BREAK BONUS: MARCHING BAND EQUIPMENT SCAMS & COMMUNITY SAFETY

This week on On a Water Break, Nicole Younger is back hosting a twirl-tastic episode packed with passion, performance, and positivity! She’s joined by Ashlee Amos and Ohio State’s own Jacob Cline (@jacob.cline.161), and they’re diving into everything from the pipeline between twirling and color guard to the world of college twirling auditions and what it's like being a male twirler building a platform and community online.

💥 Kicking things off with Jacob’s 32-Count Life Story, we learn how this multi-title-holding performer went from small-town drum major to the United States Twirling Open Collegiate Champion. Ashlee and Nicole get into the evolution of presentation, performance pressure, and what really sets the college twirling experience apart.

📰 In this week’s news:

 * Nicole shares details on InstructorDatabase.com [https://www.instructordatabase.com/], a new global platform for marching arts professionals
 * Ashlee brings updates from USBands, who are looking for fall event staff across 80+ contests
 * Jacob announces Team USA for the 2025 IBTF World Championship in Italy!

🎶 [CUE TECH BLOCK MUSIC]
In our 60-Second Tech Block, Jacob breaks down the three pillars of preparing for college twirling auditions: presentation, practice, and performance videos. From dirt patches in the backyard to nailing facial expressions, it's a crash course in how to stand out for the right reasons.

❓ WHAT ARE WE DOING?!
Ashlee calls out the twirling world for lacking musicality and encourages better connection to sound, rhythm, and expression. Jacob has a powerful message for OSU: “Why aren’t twirlers on the field?” Nicole turns the lens on herself as she preps for another summer with The Academy... and hasn’t packed.

🌟 GUSH & GO:

 * Nicole celebrates a new summer role working with leadership at Academy
 * Jacob shares his growth on social media as a platform for twirling visibility
 * Ashlee gushes over her rising star student and new color guard captain, Bella

🗣️ Big thanks to our guest Jacob Cline – follow him @jacob.cline.161 on TikTok & Instagram to keep up with his twirling journey!
