Drill Design

Using the version of Pyware, I am able to create custom drill for groups of any size. I provide individual dot cards to maximize your students success as well as full drill charts for you and your staff. I can provide you with personalized dot books that can be printed for individual students at no charge. Whether you are looking for traditional marching band drill or for the most cutting edge visual design, I’ve got you covered.

I also have mobile files available that can be used with the Pyware app (available for iOS and Android devices) as well as the Ultimate Drill Book App, allowing you to animate and view your drill in a 3D perspective on the go. The provided coordinate sheets are also compatible with the app DrillBook Next (available for iOS and Android devices.)  

Set and Prop Design

When designed correctly, props can be used to set your ensemble apart from the competition! A great set design immediately puts the audience and judging panel in a time and place from the moment you enter the field. I’ll work together with you to create an effective, yet realistic set design that fits within your budget and program’s limitations. The image below is a sample of a field layout created before drill design began. The image at the top of this page is a picture from the animation of drill design using this field layout.

Conceptual Design and Program Coordination

Would you like your ensemble to put the most original, creative, and unique production on the field each weekend? I strive to break the mold in creating new designs and put a new spin on classic ideas. Let me give your ensemble a unique look that will make your program stand out in the minds and memories of audiences and judges. I'll work with you from the very start of conceptual design. You can look forward to seeing story boards, set design options, and more before drill is even started. 

Examples of what you’ll receive throughout the design process are featured on this page, from Alma High School’s 2022 Program “The Other Side of Ordinary”. I put together the concept, musical selections, uniforms for both musicians and guard, silk designs, and visual design for this program.

Uniform Design

One of the most popular trends for marching bands is the use of custom uniform tops and hat/shako wraps for each show. Every year, these tops become more affordable and of better quality. Let’s enhance your next production with a custom uniform! I’ll work with your chosen uniform company to design a uniform that stands out and pulls your entire visual program together.
