I will take 7-10 drill writing projects per year. I usually write marching band drills from June 20th through

August  1st.  It takes three to four days to create your drill.  I usually recommend  the following:

                              Young Band Level              20-35  drill sets***(actual moves) for young-developing bands

                               High School Level               35-50  drill sets*** for average high school competitive band

                              Championship Level           50-75 drill sets*** for state championship bands

                               World Class Level               75-100  drill sets*** for world class bands(unlimited sets)

                   *** Actual drill moves(not holds)-may include subsets--I do not count drill sets--these are ballpark figures

                   

It is important to have the following items before we start:

           All guard changes thought out

            All special percussion notes

           Build all props & measure (play with them to see what are going to do with them)

                   it would be great to have a time to play with the props prior to writing the drill

             Please try to think out as many of your visual ideals as possible before we start

              Please do a show outline so you get what you want.

      Create your own format--be a specific as you want!

      The more details before I start the better!!!!!!

            Exact numbers with some cushion for kids moving etc.

                                    Please forward drill numbers as soon as possible.   Must be sent in writing/email

                          Please try to make sure of your numbers  before sending them.

                                   The more complex your drill is, the more the difficult it is to alter.

                          Wait till your 99% sure of your numbers

       I could write your drill just as you are starting camp if you are unsure of next year’s numbers.

      

Rewrites can be done as we progress through the summer and fall!  Rewrites because of drill mistakes by me are free(rarely happens).  Rewrites because of changes in numbers can be made, but hurts step sizes and many other facets of good drill(I can use the rewrite function to take spots out).   Solids form rewrites are up to you(filled-in blocks,etc)!  This process is also free. Additional fees for additional hard copies may be necessary.  If want creative control (drill set approval) of the writing process, additional fees may be needed.
