The benefits of choosing a custom show are endless.
Designing a fully customizable show gives you the ability to match everything to the interests and ability level of your students; maximizing on their strengths and choosing a few techniques to master throughout the season can make your group highly competitive! Create a show that will get your band parents and community involved with your program to spur growth!
Your ideas and concepts can go a long way.
We can start the show design process with as little as:
- A piece of music that you and your students enjoy (i.e. Mozart's Requiem, Ellington’s Caravan).
- A visual concept (i.e. circles, triangles, spheres).
- A Storyline (i.e. Poe's The Raven).
- An intellectual concept (i.e. Darkness to Light)
From which we can formulate an entire production that is effective musically and visually to wow the audience and impress the judges!
Set yourself apart.
Custom musical arrangements also offer the ability to program features that will set you apart from your competitors, such as:
- A musical difficulty level that matches that of your students.
- Features the musical strengths of your ensemble.
- Attacks the musical weaknesses of your ensemble.
- Create a pacing that keeps your wind/brass players from getting overly fatigued.
- Featuring soloists of your choosing.
- Highlights the battery and front ensemble.
- Customizable writing styles based on your interests.
- Incorporates auxiliary instruments (i.e. oboe, strings, etc.)
