Our Services
Marching Band Shows
Marching Band Shows
We have over 150 marching band shows ranging from easy to advanced. All shows are fully customizable. Sheet music is delivered electronically in PDF and notation file format .MUS (Finale/Sibelius) and .XML. Most shows include full sound design packages, which include MainStage concerts and raw audio files which can be loaded into any sampler.
Mix and Match Shows
If you want a custom show but aren’t ready to build one from the ground up, we encourage you to pursue this option! Piece together a brand new show using music from our catalog of individual arrangements and then schedule a call with our team so we can discuss any edits or adaptations you want to make to the show, so that in the end you have a cohesive and unique show for your program!
Custom Shows
Every year, we accept commissions for new shows. Whether it's a fall marching band show, indoor winds or indoor percussion, we have the team to handle it. If you have interest in commissioning a new show or even just learning more about the process and pricing, please schedule a free consultation.
Individual Arrangements
Within our 150+ marching band shows are hundreds of individual arrangements that make up the shows themselves. We’ve taken the time to extract all of those individual arrangements and list them on our website, so that you can either buy them for individual use, or use the list to mix and match a brand new show using those existing arrangements.
Indoor Winds Shows
We are working hard to increase the amount of indoor winds shows that we have in our catalog. However, we feel that you will love the quality of the current catalog! All shows are written for the A-Class level so that in the same year, you can start an indoor winds program and also be highly competitive. All shows come with high quality backing tracks that are easy to follow and play along with.
Indoor Percussion Shows
Similar to indoor winds, we are working hard to increase the amount of indoor percussion shows that we have available. If you don’t find anything you like, please contact us. We have a lot of new shows being written and developed and we are always accepting new commissions for indoor percussion.
Wind and Percussion Adaptations
If you have found the perfect show but it looks a little too difficult, no problem! That’s what we’re here for. Our team of editors are experienced educators who know how to reduce a show’s difficulty while maintaining the integrity and effect of the original show. Common requests include reducing wind and/or percussion demand levels, reducing instrumentation of certain instruments such as trumpet or low brass from 3 down to 2 parts (or other variations) and re-scoring moments from a certain instrument section to another. Please schedule a call so we can make it happen!
Licensing
We know you have a million better things to do than figure out how to get the correct copyright permissions for the music you want to play. If you don’t want to mess with this, let us do the work for you! We will pursue multiple licensing possibilities for your music such as Tresona, ClickNClear or going straight to the publishers, and get you the best price for your licensing. From there, we’ll take care of all of the communication and paperwork and we’ll send you your permission letter!
Sound Design & Electronics
Sound Design
Led by Tim Mitchell, our sound design team is experienced, creative and would love to help design a soundscape for your show. We provide high quality Mp3 mockups of all of our work, and customize the programming to fit your setup. We program most of our shows in MainStage but can also program in Ableton. If you don’t have a computer setup for your electronics, no worries! We will provide you synthesizer parts that can be played on any standard hardware synth, and WAV files of all audio samples, that can be cued off of any hardware sampler.
Winter Guard Tracks
Need a track for your season? We’ve got you covered. We have multiple composers/sound designers in house that can create the perfect soundscape for your indoor color guard season. Are you looking to hire a choreographer? Please contact us! We have a fantastic network of experienced guard choreographers who we would love to connect you with. Available for all competitive levels.
Electronics Adaptations
All of our shows come pre-programmed for MainStage and also come with all of the audio samples as WAV files, in case you aren’t running MainStage in your setup. However, if you need your sound design package re-programmed for a different setup such as a different sized midi controller, we can do that! Additionally, if you would like to modify the existing sound design package in any way, we are happy to accommodate you! Please schedule a call with Tim Mitchell, our lead sound designer, so we can discuss your needs further.
Visual Design
Pre-Written Drill
A relatively new service we are offering is pre-written drill for some of our shows. Our in-house visual designers are writing drill for some of our most popular shows so that you can not only buy the music from us, but also drill that goes with it. Most drill is written for standard-size instrumentation. Our designers are happy to customize the numbers to fit your ensemble size. Please schedule a call to discuss this further! We are adding more drill to our website every week but it is a work in progress. If you would like to see if a show has pre-written drill available, please contact us and we can let you know!
Drill Design
If you need drill design for your show, we are thrilled to be able to finally offer this service in-house! We have two full time drill designers on our team as well as an extensive network of drill designers across the country that we would be happy to connect you with. Our designers work in the latest version of Pyware and always provide drill charts, coordinate sheets, animation videos, explanation videos and Pyware files. We will also upload your drill to the UDBapp free of charge, as long as you have a subscription. Please schedule a call with one of our visual designers to get the conversation started today!
Winds and Percussion Choreography
Both of our in-house drill writers also offer winds and percussion choreography. Even if you have your own drill writer, you can still work with them to get custom choreography for your band. They will create videos of their choreography that you and your staff can use to teach your students or if you want, they can provide a video of choreography that is intended for your students to watch and learn from.
Guard Choreography
We are happy to offer guard choreography for your ensemble! This includes flag work, rifle work, saber work and dance choreography. Our in-house choreographer will provide their work in written format, along with instructional videos for your staff and/or students to learn from. Please schedule a call with us to learn more.
Consulting
Program Coordination
We strongly encourage all programs to utilize a program coordinator for their shows. If you have never worked with a program coordinator, this role can look different depending on what you are looking for. In many cases, the program coordinator will conceive the concept of the show and help come up with the source music, color palette and visual concepts for the show. In other cases, they simply function as the coordinator among all the designers involved (drill writer, brass arranger, percussion arranger, sound designer, guard choreographer etc). From a band director’s standpoint, it allows you to communicate your needs to one person, and then they will take that information and pass it along to the rest of the team. Our best shows usually come from schools that use a program coordinator. This is an in-house service that we are happy to offer.
On-Site Consulting
Our team is full of music educators and experts in the field of the marching arts. We would love to come visit your program and help out however we can! Whether it's consulting on your show before your first competition or getting some extra teaching help during band camp, we are mobile and ready to help! Audio setup consultations are also available on a case by case basis. Please contact us for more information.
