A successful marching band requires excellent drill

Drill for Band .com specializes in drill that makes your life as a director easier

When it comes to marching band drill, there are a lot of factors to consider.

• How easily can it be taught?
• Will the students easily remember from rehearsal to rehearsal to show?
• How can I get all my marchers on board and successful sooner rather than later?
• How will the staging and movement help music scores?

What is the best way to make sure you can provide your marching band program with drill that meets all of this criteria and more? You need a drill writer with experience who understands the importance of all the above points. I, Michael Gillespie at Drill for Band .com, have experience working with dozens of successful marching ensembles as a designer, adjudicator, clinician and teacher. My experience ranges from top tier drum and bugle corps to 1A high school marching band programs who are just getting started. I have been creating successful and effective marching band drill for over 15 years. I specialize in small and/or developing band programs. See my experience page for a detailed list of my work history.

I believe in the importance of music education. After years of studying and gathering first hand experience with many of the top minds in the marching arts I began teaching and designing shows. As a musician who has gigged all around the world I’ve found a way to do my part to help keep band programs thriving across the United States. My drill will help your band grow through their effective yet achievable design. Music scores matter, the marcher experience matters and must include 1st year marching 8th graders or freshman through seniors. I have found a passion in helping bands find success through providing them drill that works. When you hire Drill for Band you are going to get assistance throughout every aspect of your marching band season.

Rewrites for numbers adjustments are only an additional 10% – anytime.

Drill for Band does more than just write custom marching band drill for your entire high school marching band show. As a former high school band director I understand that student commitment can waiver. If at any point during the marching band season you have students drop out or join the ensemble, Drill for Band will rewrite any forms affected by the personnel change for a 10% addition to your base drill costs, all the way up until your high school band’s final performance.

Band camp can be hot but you shouldn’t have to sweat the drill. Contact me to receive a free consultation today. It’s never too early or too late to get started – last minute requests are welcome!
