Xennial vs. Gen Z: Talking DCI | Where Do We Agree/Disagree • Breaking the Ties • 2026 Predictions
Generational Effect
Welcome to the very first episode of Generational Effect!
Daniel Montoya Jr. is a Xennial. Jason Gonzales is Gen Z. They may see the activity through different lenses, but they share the same passion for drum corps.
In this debut episode, get to know Jason as he talks about his marching background, education, favorite corps, favorite shows, and what drew him to the activity. Along the way, the conversation turns to legendary championship ties, memorable productions, hot takes, and Jason makes his early predictions for the 2026 DCI season.
Whether you've been following drum corps for decades or you're just discovering the activity, this is the beginning of a new conversation built on different perspectives and a shared love for the marching arts.
