Custom Arranged Music

Why Go Custom?

A marching band show that fits your ensemble’s instrumentation and needs, while still reflecting the creative vision that you have for the show at an affordable price! Custom shows benefit bands of all sizes and instrumentation, but shine when given to smaller bands.

Don’t have any tubas or baritones? No problem! With my arranging services you will get a score that only reflects the instruments that you currently have in your band! Small schools have been and continue to be my specialty and love as I currently work with all schools that 60 or less members in their ensembles.

Designing a Cost Effective Winner

Part of having me join your design team means that I’m fully available to help flesh out your show design! I want to help you create a show that will lead to your students thriving!

Custom arrangement/Tresona rights cost got you down? No worry! There’s plenty of public domain music to fit any theme you have in mind for your program.

Constant Updates and Progress Checks

Throughout the process of arranging I will keep you, the director, updated on how the movements are progressing. This is an excellent chance for you to get as specific as you wish and make sure the music is fully suited to your students’ and ensemble’s needs!

Season Adjustments and Edits Included

If you have a change in personnel throughout the season I have you covered! Smaller programs often have uncertain numbers all the way up to and even throughout band camp. As part of hiring me I offer in-season edits to ALL percussion and wind music.

Separate Percussion Arranging

Fitting into a team is my favorite thing to do! As a percussionist and classically trained composer I am well versed in writing for either half of your ensemble!

Cost and Fees

As someone who specializes in small bands that are operating on a smaller budget, I price a show according to what your program can handle! Part of the process of hiring me is negotiating a price that makes both parties satisfied. While I want to charge a fair price for the work on my end, I don’t want to let the price affect your ensemble receiving a custom product from me. Aspects such as program budget, the amount of work required, and whether or not I’m adapting and already arranged piece will dictate the cost of the show.
