Firstoff, they should combine the episodes to 24 minutes each. 12 minutes is silly.
Second, this show is at LEAST 50% about the dance squad. Then maybe 25% on the color guard/flags and drum majors. The last 25% is about backstory and other minutiae. They give some pieces on the drumline and the mellophone sections, but I just felt they really skimped on the BAND part marching band. There's little coverage of the music, or the drill book, or the marching technique.
All that to say, I was pretty disappointed with this show, although I will admit my expectations were relatively high having just finished other "docu-drama" shows like Last Chance U and being a marching band alum.
