Three dudes, seven costume changes, zero regrets. John and Tim bring on Drum Major Pres Maxson to discuss his time in the Hawkeye Marching Band at the very beginning of the Kevin Kastens era. Pres shares about his drive to become drum major, Band Slide Show shenanigans with Robert Gallery & LKK & Jon Buetjer, the Iowa-Stanford email, and his writing career since. John and Pres give testimony to what made Dr. Jones and Mr. Kastens such great band directors. And between each section, Pres breaks out a different piece of vintage Hawkeye apparel.
You can find Pres' written work on Amazon if you search "Pres Maxson". You can find the link to his TEDxTalk about how bad art helps you make good art (made at Arts Quincy, whose director and friend of the pod and Episode 4 guest, Laure Sievert, recommended Pres to us and has her own talk about funding the arts talk at TEDxNormal!)

Music recorded by the Hawkeye Marching Band, off the 2003 album "Roll Along!" and the 2007 album "Get Ready For the Boom"
