This week on SoundstageEDU, we’re digging into a quote that every student, parent, and booster needs right now during contest season:“It’s not the will to win that matters—everyone has that. It’s the will to prepare to win that matters.” – Paul “Bear” BryantI’ll be honest… I actually recorded this episode once already and somehow managed to lose or delete it. Chaos! But maybe that’s fitting, because preparation—and sometimes re-preparation—is what this season is all about.In this episode, we break down:🎺 Why “wanting to win” isn’t enough for marching bands, drumlines, and guard.🎭 How parents can support their kids through discipline, encouragement, and balance.🥁 Why booster clubs are the backbone of preparation (and how to fight burnout).🏆 The truth: trophies are won on Tuesday night rehearsals, not just Saturday performances.Whether you’re a student chasing reps, a parent driving carpools, or a booster wrestling with concession shifts, this is your reminder that preparation beats hype.💡 Follow SoundstageEDU on TikTok, Instagram, and Facebook for daily motivation all through Bandtober.☕ Support the mission on Buy Me a Coffee—new resources for parents and boosters are dropping soon, but you can fuel the work now and keep me caffeinated in the meantime.🎧 Hit follow on this show so you don’t miss what’s next.This season is where preparation pays off. Let’s go do the work.
