I strive to create meaningful, expressive, and quality music for ALL in the marching arts community! I take pride in creating music that changes lives.

I’m going to be straightforward: The marching arts world can be expensive! Many smaller band programs can’t afford to compete, even when they want to. I want to change that conversation. I mostly arrange for small to medium-sized band programs. In general, my arranging costs are significantly more affordable than many others in the business. I want to create meaningful music for a realistic cost. Below, you can find information about my services and my partners. On the additional marching tabs, you can find my music catalog. Please contact me for anything!

Services Offered

 

Arranging and Composing

I arrange and compose music for marching bands, pep bands, and indoor ensembles. I can make any needs (instrumentation, style, length, etc…) work for any size program. I construct the overall score, coordinate overall design, and arrange the winds score. Percussion parts are written by my friend and colleague, Jeff Larch. Together, we deliver a high quality and affordable product. In general, I offer two show types. They are:

Custom Show: If your program is looking for a brand new show, I can create a custom show. This is generally 7-8 minutes of music and includes music for winds and percussion. A custom show starts at $5,000. The process to create a custom show takes months.

Semi-Custom Show: If your program is looking for the overall feel of a competitive show, but is lacking the budget, I can create a semi-custom show for you. This type of show uses music that I’ve already arranged that is then tailored for your program. This reduces cost by 50% (or more) and allows for bands will smaller budgets a chance to still receive the same quality music that other bands receive. The cost is generally $700 for individual movements or $2,000 for a full show. Turnaround time for these types of shows is only 2-3 weeks.

Teaching and Judging

I love to teach marching bands! Whether you need a week-long clinic or a workshop, I offer my services to anyone. I specialize in anything music—from sectionals to full ensemble.

I love to judge marching bands! I have judged for competitions across the Midwest and I’m happy to adjudicate for your festival, show, contest, etc. I generally judge music ensemble, music effect, music individual, music, and overall effect.

Consulting and Coordination

I offer my consulting services and program coordinator services to any band. If you need an extra set of administrative eyes on your program, want to have a program coordinator, want general consulting, etc. then I can help!
