Marching Band Drill Design
Marching Band Drill Design by Victor Neves
Welcome to my marching band drill design site.  I've had a lot of fun writing drill.  I've done it since 1983, starting small and growing every year.  During that time, I've learned a lot about how to teach kids, how to coordinate shows, and how to design drill that helps students and directors succeed.

My  marching band drill has high general effect, is easy to teach and march, and is written to highlight the music. My drill design is exciting to watch from the top of a high box, or from the stands at a high school.  It helps you to teach music to your students instead of just motion.

My charts are custom designed so that your marching band is unique and exciting.  The drill also  comes with detailed instructions written on each chart that tell the counts and measure numbers for that particular page of drill.  The students are able to organize the drill by associating it to the musical phrase.  That makes the drill easier and helps you teach it faster.  Analyzing the marching band music has the same effect for the director and gains a pricing discount.

I use Pyware, and have since version 3.  It provides clean, easy to read charts that speed up the teaching process and allow you to spend more of your marching band rehearsal time on music.  When the drill is easier to learn, the music sounds better.

Pyware's free drill viewer allows students and directors to highlight positions and watch the drill move from page to page.  Animation is a powerful teaching tool.

When you ask me to design your marching band show, you get my individual attention and best work. Your price includes the drill file so you can watch the animation at no extra charge, and pdf files so you can print as much drill as you need to on your own computer.

If you have a question and need some explanation, you can call me.  There's no extra charge.  If you'd like to send a video for critique, there's no extra charge.

When you choose marching band drill by Bandtek Drill Design, you're in for   new experience.   Each page of drill has instructions listing your band, the year, the song, the measures marched for that page, and clear directions. 

Pygraphics distributes a free drill player so the students can animate the show at home.  The end result is a cleaner, better performance for your kids.

Small marching bands only pay $35 per page. With discounts, the price can be reduced to as little as $20 per page. That means you can have a custom designed 20 page marching band show for as little as $400.
 
Low price, director control, music education centered philosophy and a commitment to superior performance is part of 
why college and high school bands from around the country have chosen Bandtek Drill Design to write their show, year after year.
