Alumni Stories
One member, one era, one long conversation. How they found DP, what they carried out of it, and where the sound followed them.
The DP Nation Podcast
The stories behind the sound.
Alumni in conversation — directors, section leaders, musicians and the people who drove nine hours to make a Thursday rehearsal. Thirty-five years of Dynamic Praise, told by the people who lived it.
