Hello and happy midwinter!
2025 is off and running, and our team is already hard at work creating new music! As we reflect on this past year, it is hard to feel anything other than gratitude. We are so grateful for every single relationship that we form, and the kindness, love, and support that is shared with us.
2024 was another banner year for us. We were able to serve over 225 schools across the world. And when we say “serve”, we truly mean it. Every single one of our clients matters to us no matter who they are, where they are located, or what size their program is. We are so passio ..read more

Composers, arrangers, orchestrators and educators all woke up to shocking news on Monday, August 26, 2014. Finale, the industry standard for music notation software, is calling it quits! Like many other people across the world, our team has been processing this information slowly as we come to terms with what this means. So what does it mean?
Per MakeMusic’s letter, there will be no new versions of Finale released ever again. Additionally, as of August 2025, all technical support for any version of Finale will cease as will the ability for people to authorize Finale on any new devices. So once ..read more

It’s that time of year! The school year is wrapping up, spring concerts are in the books and the only thing standing between band directors and a much needed summer break is picking the show music for the upcoming fall marching band season. We work with lots of schools every year in many capacities. Something that is unique to us is that we have a “schedule a call” option on our website, where anyone can schedule a free consultation with our creative team to talk through show design options. This means that this year alone, we’ve literally talked with hundreds o ..read more

An unconventional year calls for an unconventional catalogue. A lot of our shows that we were excited to release this year had to be delayed until next year because of cancelled marching band seasons and out of respect for the bands that commissioned them. So our catalogue consists of plenty of new material, some classics that got updated for 2021, some drum corps shows we wrote that are now playable for high school bands and some shows that have been in the works for years, and are finally seeing the light of day! This catalogue has a really nice variety of ability levels and depth of concept ..read more
