I'm very excited that this weekend marks the first time that some of my marching band drill will be performed Lucas Oil Stadium! Good luck to Neosho HS at #BOAGrandNationals2025! Who else is going to be in #Indy this weekend?

Dwight D. Eisenhower Cardinal Regiment took home 1st in their division at Sunday's A.A. Stagg Marching Jamboree, also winning best Music, Visuals and Auxiliary! I also wrote drill Harold L Richards Marching Bulldogs, who got 4th in their second year of competition. Congrats to both groups!

Postpone DCI finals until construction on 465 is finished. This is insane. You heard it here first

5.2 x 5. Much more reasonable step size than jazz running Contras! This step size is actually really common in the shows I've transcribed. I rarely write larger than 8x5 in my marching band shows.....Anyway, Name That #dci Show!

Gotta love jazz-running Contras

Proof of sweat, and proof I marched dci. Yep, 21 years after aging out, I still work out in my old @dcicolts.bsky.social member shirts

A couple of pics from Porter Ridge Indoor Winds's 2025 season debut. To paraphrase Liz Lemon's mom: "they built all of this because of dots you wrote" #wgi #cwea

One of my long, on-going projects as a drill designer is transcribing a lot of drill I like. Not just one move, not just guard, but the whole corps or marching band. Might share some clips and thoughts here soon
