Custom Marching Band Drill for ANY Show!

I work closely with each director to determine the goals for each aspect of the show. When it comes to the drill design, I guarantee that you will receive highly effective designs that fit the difficulty level of your band. All elements of the ensemble are carefully coordinated into the drill design. I work carefully to ensure the wind sections and solos are staged correctly for the best sound while making sure the guard and percussion sections are always fully integrated for the best visual design possible.

  • Full PDF chart set customized to your field specifications.
  • Full set of PDF individual student coordinate sheets.
  • Pyware file of the show in any version.
  • Clear and complete text instructions on each drill page.

I make SURE that the right people are in the right place AT THE RIGHT TIME during every part of your marching band show. With nearly 30 years of experience, I understand the challenges that band directors face when they are trying to field a successful marching band program. Many designers do not understand how to control difficulty or stage the various elements or how to work within less than perfect parameters.

With RMS Visual Designs custom drill writing for marching bands, you will receive a marching drill design tailored to your band, regardless of the size or difficulty level. Everything that he designs for your band will be logical and easy to teach. For Example, you will never hear a student say they can’t reach a dot because the stride is too big. You also won’t struggle all season with one drill move that can’t be cleaned even after hours of rehearsal. I ask the right questions so the drill is written at the correct difficulty and delivered ON TIME. All elements are always fully integrated.
