Welcome to Bandtek marching
band drill design. Our creative team has performed, created, and
taught at the top levels of drum corps and marching band in the North
America, Europe, and Asia.
The expansion to full service show design is
new in 2010, so there's not much about it on the web site, but if you'd
like to know more, please call or send an email.
Our
marching
band
drill
has high general effect, is easy to teach and march, and is written to
highlight the music.
Our drill design is exciting to watch from the
top
of a high box, or from the stands at a high school.
Bandtek marching band shows help you teach
your students music performance as motion, not just
counts and choreography.
Bandtek
marching
band
drill
is
designed with student success as the focus, and that's why
it makes your band sound and look great.

Bandtek
drill
charts are custom designed
so that your marching band has a unique and exciting show all it's
own.
Bandtek
marching
band
shows have earned first
place
trophies in 17 states, not because competition is the focus, but
because it's not.

Large
competitive bands march our drill. Small non-competitive bands
march our shows. Big Universities like Utah, Notre Dame and
Brigham Young have used Bandtek drill design.
Marching bands across the
United States, from Hawaii to Connecticut, from Florida to California,
from Alaska to Texas, and around the world
in Europe and in Asia march Bandtek shows.
We've written drill since 1983 and have had a
lot of fun doing it.
During
that time, we've learned a lot about teaching performers,
coordinating
shows, and designing drill that helps marching bands acheive great
things.
The marching band show also comes with
detailed
instructions written
on each
drill chart that
tell the counts
and music 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.
|
For bands with smaller budgets, we also offer stock
shows that have already been tried and tested. They won't have the
exact instrumentation, but with a little tweaking, they turn out great.
Bandtek Marching
Formations are created with
that kind of performance in mind.

We use
Pyware, and have since
the mid-eighties. Pyware provides clean, easy to read drill
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.
Drill charts are delivered in Pyware and PDF
format. Coordinate sheets and paper charts are available at
director request at no extra charge.
Pyware's
drill
player allows
students and directors to highlight positions
and watch
the drill move from page to page. Drill animation synchronized to
music is a powerful
teaching tool. The end
result is a
cleaner, better
performance from your band.

When
your
marching band show is designed by Bandtek, you get the designer's
individual undivided attention and best work. Your show is
unique and created with as much input as you choose to give so that it
fits your artistic vision while meeting the educational needs of your
students.

|
Small
marching
bands only pay $35 per page. With discounts for ordering early, score
analysis, and rehearsal planning, 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.
If you have questions or need some
explanation, you can call
and we''ll spend as much time as you need explaining teaching and
cleaning methods, general effect or whatever the question might
be. If you'd like to send a video
for critique, we'll do that at no extra charge.

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 world have
chosen Bandtek Drill Design to write
their shows, year after year.
