Absolutely. Every show I write is designed with contest performance in mind. I’ve worked with programs that compete at local festivals, UIL events, and Bands of America regionals, and I understand how adjudicators evaluate both music and effect. Each of my marching band shows includes moments of clarity, contrast, and pacing that judges look for, while also staying accessible to your students. Whether your band is aiming for captions, division placements, or just to take a big step forward competitively, I’ll ensure the music supports your goals. At the same time, I never lose sight of student experience — because great contest results come from students who love what they’re performing.

It’s easy to get started. Simply fill out the form on this page and let me know which marching band shows caught your eye, or what kind of musical direction you’d like to explore. Once I receive your message, I’ll personally reach out to learn more about your program — your instrumentation, your student strengths, and your goals for the season. From there, I’ll recommend the best options and explain how I can customize the music for you. If you’d like, we can schedule a short call so you can ask questions directly. My process is designed to be simple, collaborative, and efficient, so you can focus on leading your students while I take care of the music.

Pricing depends on the level of customization and the scope of the project. By selecting from my library of previously commissioned marching band shows, you’ll save significantly compared to commissioning a brand-new production. Directors often appreciate that they get the “best of both worlds”: proven, high-quality music at a more accessible price point, plus the benefit of my personal tailoring to make sure it fits their band. Once I know more about your program’s needs, I’ll provide clear pricing so you can make the best decision for your budget.

Delivery timelines vary depending on the level of edits and customization required. For many directors, one of the biggest benefits of choosing from my existing marching band shows is the speed — you can get access to a fully scored show much faster than starting a new commission. If we’re making adjustments for instrumentation or difficulty level, I’ll work with you to set a realistic timeline. In most cases, you’ll have what you need well before summer rehearsals begin, so your students can start learning with confidence.

Student engagement is always at the heart of what I do. I remember what it’s like to be a director trying to keep rehearsals energized week after week. That’s why every one of my marching band shows includes music that students enjoy playing and audiences enjoy hearing. From catchy motifs to dramatic build-ups and memorable finales, the writing is designed to keep energy high across the season. When students connect emotionally with their show, they rehearse harder, perform better, and carry those positive memories with them long after the season ends.

Yes — directors often choose to mix and match from different marching band shows in my library. I can blend selections seamlessly, rework transitions, and make sure the final product feels cohesive. This approach is especially helpful for bands that want something fresh while still taking advantage of proven music. Think of it as a hybrid option: you get music you know will work on the field, but shaped into a show that’s uniquely yours.
