How Community Created a Post Malone Tailgate Party
What happens when a high school band program says yes to a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity—with just weeks to prepare? You get a story of passion, partnership, and pushing past expectations. In this week’s Boosted Volunteer Podcast, hosts Robin and Evan Eissler welcome James Rees, Director of Bands at Grapevine High School, and Diane Pintar, Vice President of the Grapevine Band Boosters. Together, they share the incredible behind-the-scenes story of how preparation, community, and a little serendipity landed their high school band the chance to perform for none other than Post Malone, a Grapevine alum, at AT&T Stadium.
Together, they share how vision, collaboration, and sheer determination helped turn a last-minute request into an unforgettable, student-centered success story. They talk about the power of aiming high, manifesting more, and knowing when to say yes—and when not yet is the wiser move.
Key Highlights:
(03:57) The phone call that changed everything
(07:24) A whirlwind two-week timeline to showtime
(11:18) The logistics, community support, and behind-the-scenes hustle
(19:47) Why “do it” is the best advice for programs facing big opportunities
(20:59) When your vision outgrows expectations—and why that’s a good thing
(22:06) Balancing epic experiences with everyday responsibilities
(23:11) The art of leading from a place of “yes”—while managing real-world limits
(24:02) Final reflections and a challenge to dream even bigger
Whether you’re an educator, parent, or volunteer leader, this episode will leave you motivated to dream bigger and act boldly for your students.
