Tom Dean provides:
Through my years of marching band experience, I feel that I am in sync with what director’s need and want to have a successful marching band season. My clients receive the following
- Close consultation with arrangers, composers, directors, color guard, and percussion arrangers BEFORE the first page of drill is written.
- All Charts and Coordinate sheets are emailed via .pdf for easy printing. All charts are designed using Pyware software, so the final product can be highly customized to your specifications.
- All Charts contain detailed directions and count structures.
- Quicktime movies of the drill and music are provided (especially helpful for color guard designers!)
- Full consultation
For examples of drill with music, please email Tom Dean at tdeanband@me.com
