System checkup
We look at the equipment you own, trace how it connects, and find what slows down setup or soundcheck. You get written priorities and a practical first step before committing to a larger project.
Marching band & indoor percussion
Marching audio your crew can run.
I help North Texas marching bands and indoor percussion groups make sense of the mics, mixer, keyboards, speakers, and cables they already own. As a percussion educator, I build the audio plan around the music and the students who set it up at each rehearsal.

Front ensemble mic & balance visit
For an existing working system, we focus on agreed keyboard mics and DIs, the input patch, and basic balance at one rehearsal. You get a labeled input and hookup sheet for the crew.
Crew-ready setup & handoff
We agree on a system plan, configure and label the connections, and work through setup and line-check with a student lead and backup. The handoff includes a patch map, an operator routine, applicable mixer or keyboard files, and a short recovery guide.
Show sound design
Samples, effects, synth sounds, and transitions shaped around your production and playback setup. We agree on cues, files, rehearsal support, and revisions before the work begins.
A setup that makes sense on rehearsal day.
Some groups benefit from a modular snake; others need a central box or a simple connection path from each keyboard. I review what is on your carts and offer a plan for the system you actually have. A full handoff includes a line-check and troubleshooting routine for the lead and backup operators. We can add a rehearsal test when the schedule and scope allow.
Start with a checkup or a focused mic visit, then choose whether you need a larger system handoff or show sound design. Each proposal states the visit length, deliverables, travel, and follow-up before work begins. Equipment recommendations come with a reason and are quoted separately.
Based in north Fort Worth. I work with marching bands and indoor percussion groups across Dallas–Fort Worth. Site visits and travel are included in a written project quote.
Tell me what has to work.
Send your ensemble, timeline, equipment list if you have one, how long setup takes, and what keeps going wrong. I'll suggest a scoped first step and quote it before we begin.
