From Jerry Kelsey

"As a former Band Director, I understand the challenges you face when putting together a successful marching band program.

The worry as to whether or not your production will be accessible to your students, while competitive in your arena is just one more thing to add to the list.

That is why I am committed to providing you with a timely and successful arrangement that plays to the strengths of your program and maximizes their success.

I have supported your colleagues for over 30 years. It would be my pleasure to support you and your program.

Feel free to contact me at 585-786-2925 and lets take one more thing off your list."

Finding the Right Concept

Finding the right concept is the key to success. Whether it be Classical, Jazz, Broadway, or Pop, the design phase required careful editing, creative voicing, textural considerations, and pace. We facilitate this creative process while naturally preserving the flavor of the genre in your arrangement.

Looking for a complete production, ideas, or some inspiration? Take a look at several successful shows that are available in whole, in pieces, or as a starting point to your own custom production.

Copyright Clearance

Many of these programs require copyright clearance with the composer or publisher. It is the responsibility of the Band Director to acquire appropriate copyrights to these programs. These shows will be made available to your programs as soon as copyright clearance is obtain.
