A journey to transform your program, one step at a time.
Marching season is busy, I get it!
I know what it's like to run a successful marching band program. You have to manage 1,000 mini-tasks all at once: think about show design, adjust musical cues, work with band staff, plan rehearsals, communicate with parents, coach student leadership, wrangle equipment and repair, book buses, and somewhere in there you have to find time to eat. Let me help you work through the details and get the most out of your time with students.
How Daniel can help YOU!
Video Review
I've adjudicated for festivals and consulted for bands all around the country. Send me a video of your group and I'll give you feedback and pointers about what to do to make your show really shine.
Rehearsal Plans
It's not just what you teach, but how and when you teach. I'll share practical rehearsal strategies and a plan on how to make it all happen
Check In
I'll meet you in person or on video to talk with you and your band staff about progress, changes, rehearsal plans, and techniques to make your group shine.
