​

Marching Band Program Consulting 

After judging and helping others several years, I have the ability to identify potential liabilities in your marching show that could be avoided in the design phase, rehearsal phase, and performance phase.  Let's work together to help set your program up for  success before music or drill is even handed out.  I can also help enhance certain aspects of your show once it is taught and is performed.  All of this reduces band director and student frustration and helps to fully maximize the concept of the show and the overall experience for all performances.  

​

**Tip to Consider: Marching Season success begins with Concert Season success! 95% of directors wait until the marching season to start implementing new ideas and concepts. Be in the top 5% of programs and let's start early on your path to marching band success during concert season! Click "Get Started" below.

​

The following is included in my package price.  

​​

  1. General show consulting, pre planning, and strategy sessions (TMEA, campus, phone call, etc).

  2. Unlimited scheduled phone conferences during planning phase and competitive season.

  3. Bi-monthly video performance reviews in writing for suggested show edits (music, drill, staging, aesthetics, etc).

  4. One full day (up to 8 hours) of clinics and consulting on your campus during classes and after school.  

  5. During "off periods", I am happy to help with anything listed in the Consulting section above!  

  6. Judge Commentary Review (so you fully understand what judges are commenting on to improve your show).  This is also to help you prioritize what changes to make after each contest to meet your goals.
