With 38 years as a band director, principal, and educational consultant, I understand public school band programs. Over 20 years judging for WGI, DCI and BOA.

My strength is understanding how to stage to maximize your bands sound.


While having success with my own bands, I have written for multiple state champions, state finalist and regional finalist across the country.

Many superiors at UIL. Written and consulted with multiple UIL State Marching Band participants and two finalist (the highest finishing 4th).

I have also spent many weeks in the valley teaching marching bands first hand. I have a good understanding of Texas marching bands.

Also, I write to your numbers and not ask you to accommodate my computer program. I also do not break the bank, as I feel there are a lot of over priced designers out there taking advantage.
