It is my goal to create meaningful, educational, and enjoyable music for ALL in the marching arts community! I take pride in creating music that positively impacts lives. If you’re looking for music that will challenge your students in the right ways, you’ve come to the right place!

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 can be written by hired staff. Together, we deliver a high quality and affordable product. In general, I offer two types of shows. They are:

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

Semi-Custom Show: If your program is looking for the overall feel of a competitive show, but has a smaller 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. Turnaround time for these types of shows is usually 2-3 weeks.

Teaching and Clinics:

I love to teach and work with all marching bands! Small bands, big bands, developing bands, established bands, etc...I am able and want to help you reach your goals. Whether you need a week-long clinic, another music director for band camp, or a single day workshop, I offer my services to anyone. I am able to help with all areas of the marching band—from setting drill to sectionals to full ensemble. Contact me anytime to set something up!

Judging:

I love to judge marching bands! I have judged for competitions across the country and I’m happy to adjudicate for your festival, show, contest, etc. I generally judge music ensemble, music effect, music individual, and overall effect. However, I have experience and can also judge for visual ensemble and visual 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! I bring a decade of collegiate band director experience and almost two decades of marching band design experience to the table.
