Welcome back everyone! Today's episode is another chapter of my Program Showcase series; this time it is all about Phoenix Independent Winterguard.  I sat down with director, Chad Clum and 17 year vet, Madie Clum to discuss the history, structure, ideologies, traditions, and funny moments of their program.  We had a lot of good laughs and I caught Chad off guard quite a few times with some secret intel during the interview.  Links to their website, various shows, my "Clap for the Flags" merch store, and buy me a coffee page can all be found below.     Thanks for listening!   Clap for the Flags Merch! https://buymeacoffee.com/flagsinagym https://www.phoenixindependent.org/ Phoenix Open 2021 Digital Showcase Phoenix A 2021 Digital Showcase Phoenix World 2026 - OTTO Phoenix Open 2025 - Reflections (WGI Silver Medal) Phoenix Open 2024 - Forever Moving Phoenix Open 2022 - Club 27 Phoenix A 2012 - Psychodynamic Perspective (WGI Silver Medal) #wgi #winterguard #colorguard #guard #dci #marchingband #flags #flagsinagym #winterguardinternational #rifle #sabre
