Dan Potter, Break Ranks! ProducerFran's contributions to Bands of America's "Break Ranks" podcast have been, above all, useful to the student listener. He gives real-life, actionable advice that student leaders can employ that day to make their band programs better. I've had the pleasure of knowing and watching Fran Kick work with the world leaders of tomorrow for almost three decades now and, as a broadcaster and lifelong marching music fan, I eagerly and enthusiastically endorse his work!
