The corps says it's “Your Move” as they present some classic Crossmen music from their experienced team.

When you audition for and make an independent world WGI group it's easy to take for granted the amazing instruments you get to play in. Chances are if that group is in the top 10 they didn't pay for it either. In this episode we learn about how top WGI groups get MORE free stuff than mainstream artists like Beyoncé. We get to hear from a Crossmen alum and current Sennheiser rep, Brian Dougherty about crazy stories of delivering mics to J-Lo and Beyonce about how brand deals work. Have an idea for an episode?
