I specialize in creating custom marching band drill that is visually engaging, musically aligned, easy to teach and learn, and tailored to your ensemble’s strengths. Each production is designed with teaching and learning in mind —giving your students the confidence to perform at their highest level, ultimately maximizing your program’s visual impact. You will find that, along our collaboration, these traits are readily apparent in all aspects of my work:

I design choreography that enhances your musical intent, highlights show themes, draws attention to staging elements, and helps performers connect more deeply with the audience. Each moment is crafted to be achievable, expressive, and impactful. Similarly to confidence in drill performance, if students are confident in their choreographic elements, your entire program is elevated.

  • "From the first time we talked I could tell Jake understood how to make a complete package for marching band. The fact that he is a band director really helped in the fact I did not have to micromanage every aspect of the process. I appreciated the communication and how he laid out count sheets and worked with the vision our staff created."
