Grand Island HS Marching Band 2018
Custom Visual Design Service is available at a reasonable price.
Visual Design Packages begin as low as $1,500.
All Design is produced using Pyware Drill Design Software.
Factors that determine an increase in price are as follows:
1. Size of unit
Fees start at $1,500 for 0-50 marching performers including colorguard, drillteam, etc. and increases $100 per 10 performers. For instance, a unit of 50 performers would pay $1,500 while a unit of 51-60 would pay $1,600 and so on.
2. Complexity of design
3. Length of show
The $1,500 figure is based on a show lasting up to 8 minutes. A Show beyond that and the fee increases $100 per 30 seconds of time rounded up to the nearest 30 seconds. This time figure is based on length of music as projected by arranger's notes, tempo markings, etc.
4. Deadline
Getting an early start is key. The design will be completed to your specifications (numbers, formatting, etc.) always allowing for rehearsal time vs. demand, competition, and the image your band portrays on the field.
Having said all of that, I am willing to negotiate with a group’s budget. Email me today to get started. All work is contracted to protect the contracting organization, director, and myself.
Consultation Service is available.
It is possible to schedule clinic time for you and your band by contacting me at the email address below. I currently work in the central plains area of the US (Nebraska, South Dakota, Iowa, Kansas, and Missouri). I feel confident that I may be of assistance in preparing your group for performance. This assistance comes in multiple forms.
1. Observation of a performance and or a rehearsal and providing recorded comments about music, visual, or overall effect. It’s possible to do this via video (no travel). $50.00 plus travel.
2. Serve as a guest clinician and conduct a music or visual rehearsal. $75 per hour plus travel.
3. Spend time with you and/or your staff and create a visual performance program specific to the needs of your ensemble. This would include rehearsal procedure and visual exercises designed for your needs. $50 per hour plus travel.
4. Meet with your design team and facilitate the programming/design process of your production. $50.00 per via video conferencing. $100.00 per meeting plus travel.
