Pricing

Fall Marching Band Drill

$2,500+

Robert determines the initial price for the fall marching band drill based on several factors. These include the number of students in your ensemble, the estimated length of the show, the skill level of the ensemble, as well as any prop or design elements that affect the drill writing process. There is a minimum charge of $2,500.00 for new clients.

Please reach out to Robert directly here to get a quote for your ensemble.

Indoor Drill Design

$800 - $2,000+

All of Robert’s prices for scholastic indoor percussion and winds groups are based on the ensemble’s competitive class. Like his fall drill, it is all written on Pyware 3D and has all of the same included features as the fall marching band package. Robert can be available for live staging, but space is limited due to his schedule.

Scholastic A-Class: $800.00
Scholastic Open-Class: $1,300.00
Scholastic World-Class: $2,000.00
Live staging & independent ensemble rates: available upon request
