Marching Percussion Arranging

Marching Percussion Arranging

One of my favorite areas of composition is arranging the percussion music for marching band shows. I strive to create unique, but effective parts, that are not only fun to listen to, but are also fun for the kids to play. Over the years I have observed some very efficient and successful pit and battery books. It is my goal to give you a working musical ensemble from the very beginning, taking into consideration difficulty, timing/listening challenges, layering, and timbre.

All of my arrangements are custom and are catered towards your ensemble. I put extra emphasis on a legible score/parts  and music that is situationally appropriate and playable. Before I send out the music, you are guaranteed that I have sat down and played each part to check for errors or awkward writing that may not lay well in the hands; a by-product of solely composing on a computer.

My percussion parts work great as stand alone music, but most importantly I write both pit and battery to be supportive roles of the winds. Musicality and appropriate writing are at the forefront of my arrangements.

What you will receive:

  • Clean PDFs of all parts and scores

  • A realistic mp3 (powered by Virtual Drumline sounds) of each movement as full ensemble and percussion only.

  • Communication and satisfaction of parts. I will edit parts as necessary to assure you have the perfect final product for your show.

Indoor Drumline

I have been lucky to work with multiple groups participating in the indoor drumline/WGI circuit. I also had the pleasure to write a full indoor show. This show comes with all samples and requires arrangement rights for public performance. Please contact me if you are interested in the pricing for this show, or are interested in me working with your indoor group.

This is a Scholastic A Class show
