Custom Music Design for Marching Ensembles
Elevate your program with thoughtfully crafted arrangements and compositions that honor your ensemble's unique strengths and vision.
Creating high quality marching band productions
With over 10 years of experience in the marching arts as an educator, designer, and adjudicator, I bring an understanding of what makes a production successful for your ensemble both on and off the field.
My approach centers on collaboration. Every ensemble has its own strengths and goals. I work closely with you to create music that's both artistically compelling and pedagogically sound, setting your students up with strong content to be achieved.

Frequently Asked Questions
How long does a custom music book take to write?
Each show and segment is different, so it is hard to say how long a full show will take to write. On average, a movement of music will take about 2 weeks to complete. That makes a full production a 2 month project.
What is included with a custom show?
Each show comes with fully written and engraved parts and score files in pdf format, musicXML or finale files, and fully produced MIDI previews with and without click track. Additional needs and details can be discussed as part of the delivered product.
