Testimonials
"Working with Steve is always an excellent experience. His visual creativity is exceptional and his content is outstanding at complimenting the musicality of the production. He truly takes all aspects of the organization into account with how and what he designs which is so important to me as a director."
Michael SteeleDirector of Bands: Lake Orion High School
Steve is genuinely focused on the student experience regarding pageantry design and performance. He creates shows with the kids in mind, not just the dots on the page. He can adapt and mold concepts on the fly and understands how to pace and create an effective marching band show. On top of that, he is a great person and easy to work with!
Will MufarrehDirector of Bands: Portage Northern High School (MI)

Working with Steve has been a pleasure. His process has been simple and informative. When meeting, he feeds off of the energy you give him and asks the questions that make sure your product is attainable, reachable and relatable to your student body. He understands no two groups are the same and strives to make a product that fits YOUR ensemble.
