Online Design Consulations
Need assistance with your own design? Once you have completed one song or an entire show, send it to us with an outline of your programs' goals, abilities/liabilities, and education/competition philosophy. We can then evaluate your production and offer suggestions and ideas to help you maximize your show design. Why wait until competitions start to get valuable input from judges when you can get the input you need now, while there is still time to act? Judges at contest will make general statements with one or two specific comments after one 8-10 minute performance. We evaluate your show measure by measure looking for ways to maximize your design effectiveness and help you avoid problem areas in music, staging, color guard, and show programming. Save yourself and your kids from weeks of frustrating mid-season changes. Get it right before you teach it!
