  • Sound design can add depth, atmosphere, and emotion to the overall performance. By incorporating various audio elements such as sound effects, music tracks, and voiceovers, sound design can enhance the visual elements of the show and create a more immersive experience for the audience. It can also help to convey the theme or story of the performance, as well as highlight key moments and transitions throughout the show. Additionally, sound design can provide a sense of unity and cohesion to the overall production, tying together all of the different elements to create a cohesive and impactful performance.

  • A pre-show in a marching band production can add depth and context to the overall theme of the performance. It can set the tone for the audience, introduce key elements or motifs that will be explored further during the main show, and create anticipation and excitement for what is to come. Additionally, a pre-show can provide an opportunity for performers to showcase their skills and warm up before the main performance begins. Overall, a well-executed pre-show can enhance the overall impact and cohesiveness of a marching band production.

  • Rehearsing with click tracks can improve ensemble precision and timing.  Click tracks provide enhanced timing precision, seamless tempo transitions and built in rehearsal markers for efficiency.  Click tracks are perfect for shows with complex timing or electronic elements.
