Affordable and Pleasing!
Order your professional and entertaining halftime show or competitive production for marching bands and indoor classifications from a very successful designer. 30+ years experience working with scholastic and independent organizations across different judging circuits with many medals earned. Thanks for all your referrals!
I am pleased to share that Mitchell Drill Designs noted another successful season (Pennsylvania) in Tournament of Bands and USBands circuits in 2025! Two bands I wrote for last fall which entered the PA State Championships and/or Atlantic Coast Championships each finished in the top 5 in their classifications.
Competitive marching bands seeking to move up in rankings need more than just "a drill." They must plan and perform a compelling visual complement of the musical score that enables audiences to see "what they hear." Staging visual elements and impactful moments requires drill writers to place the right performers in the right places at the right times, and that is a strength of Mitchell Drill Designs.
Directors considering a change in their design team next year should give me a call or leave a message on this page. Especially if your music scores were higher than your visual scores last year, take the first step in a new direction! Like the two bands noted above, perhaps your school also may earn higher scores and climb in the rankings. Let's talk!

Discounted Pricing for Halftime Shows and Festival Bands!
Let's collaborate to plan an exciting non-competitive show that earns respect, entertains audiences, and gives your students much to be proud of! I will create a show to match your budget. Half-time shows and Festival productions do not need to be difficult to be entertaining and Mitchell Drill Designs are achievable and entertaining!
More competitive drills (A Class and Open) are designed to specifically meet your program goals, considering the experience of your performers and expectations of your instructional team. Your show will be created just for you depending upon the number of performers, skill level and complexity based on a storyboard we create together to showcase your program's strengths. Band Directors receive video animations and printable PDF drill sheets for each song before band camp. With those tools in hand, your staff may easily teach the drill and develop the show.
Imagine a band camp with no surprises and no confusion! Mitchell Drill Designs reduce stress and WASTED TIME! Your staff will identify features you want to see in the show in advance during the planning process and those moments will be seamlessly be integrated into each selection. I stage impactful moments to generate applause on demand!
Working together, we could make your band look good, sound good, and feel good next fall! If those program goals are in your play book, please give me a call or leave a message below. References (adjudicators and directors) and all Pennsylvania clearances are available upon request.
