What directors are saying
Greg Power - Buchanan HS
Those That Burn the Brightest (2026)
"The music sounds amazing after just a few rehearsals. Our performers love playing it, judges respond to it, and the thoughtful design choices consistently lead to strong performances while still pushing creative boundaries."
Adrian Lopez - Bonita HS
What I Carry, What I Let Go (2026)
"My front ensemble was challenged enough to want to do well, but not to the point of where they felt like giving up. The battery music was written exactly to the level that kept them working while also building them up for the next step."
Josh Roper - Indian Land HS
Ordinary (2026)
"The kids really love the music and so does the staff! Especially part 2 haha"
