Ryan brings a wealth of experience, having designed shows for over 25 at the upper echelons of the activity. Ryan offers music designs intended to make YOUR ensemble sound the absolute best! Full Custom*, Semi-Custom*, and a Library of previously-designed shows are available to fit the needs of your musicians.
To access the Library of previously-designed shows, click on the pageantry music menu above. More shows are continually being added to this site. Check in for updates.
Please read the FAQ to the right for more information. When you are ready to proceed please fill out the interest form below, and I will be in contact to discuss further.
*the ability to offer full-custom, and semi-custom shows are based on writing availability for that year. -
When perusing the Library Shows, the listed source music for each show will be marked either with PD (Public Domain), or LN (Licensing Needed). You do NOT need licensing for public-domain music. Music that is marked with LN is music that is currently copyright protected, and so you will need to acquire a Permission-To-Arrange License in order to perform that work. A PTA License must be acquired BEFORE any copyrighted materials are released. This is non-negotiable. The timeframe, and costs for acquiring these permissions vary, so please plan accordingly. Please let me know if you need assistance with this.

Each arrangement comes with PDF's of the wind score and parts, MP3s, XML, and Sibelius files. If you are interested in the percussion design that is associated with a particular arrangement I can put you in contact with the original designer. All of these shows were written in conjunction with some of the top percussion designers in the country so you can trust that the quality of writing is world class.

Each of these productions can be edited to meet the specifications of your ensemble. These edits can include technical modifications, structural (only wish to use a portion of a production), or orchestration alterations (change soloists, have 2 trumpet parts instead of 3, etc). Edits do NOT include NEW written material. Edit fees are in additional to the lease fee, with pricing depending on the kind of alterations being requested.
