SAMPLES of REAL Drill!

Unlike other drill designers you'll find online, these samples are real samples used by real bands! Each of the samples below earned the performing band superior ratings, first place band scores, and - in medium and large - grand champion and band of the day awards!

In addition to what you see below, you can request a sample of what YOUR show could look like with YOUR numbers...and for FREE! We will design a sample of five charts to give you an idea of what can be done for your entire show. Email rodney@marchinginnovations.com to request your free sample!

Small Band

Opener from a show entitled, "Take Flight!" This show was the first year writing drill for the performing band, which won its first band competition in more than 10 years for the program. The director wanted a surprise at the end that became a talked-about crowd pleaser! Who says smaller bands can't wow a crowd?!

Medium Band

This opener from a show entitled "Redemption" is a familiar tune, showing that stock charts can have effective drill, too. This program earned the performing band all superior ratings, several first place competition results, and Grand Champion/Band of the Day at the 2017 Appalachian Marching Classic.

Large Band

This sampling of drill designed for larger, competitive bands was written to custom arrangements, working with both the arrangers and visual staff to accomplish the vision of the various programs.
