Custom Marching Band Shows & Design Services

Custom, creative, competitive, and cost-effective marching band shows built around your program.

Every Program Is Different.
Every Show Should Be, Too.

OUR APPROACH

Every marching band program is unique, with its own strengths, challenges, instrumentation, and goals. That's why every custom marching band show is thoughtfully designed around your students and your vision, never built from a one-size-fits-all approach.

Whether you're commissioning a brand-new production or leasing an existing show, every project is crafted to fit your ensemble while delivering a creative, educational, and memorable experience.

The result is more than original music. It’s a custom marching band show built around your students, your vision, and the kind of season your program is proud to call its own.

Ryan has been doing custom arrangements for the Cabot Band for years. The music he writes is of high quality and he is a great partner to have on our team. I recommend him without hesitation for your next custom music project!
Rusty Hart, Director of Bands, Cabot High School
Ryan Talbert is an extremely versatile arranger and composer. From the perspective of being an educator for well over thirty years I can truly attest to his extraordinary gift of creating wonderful arrangements that are both challenging and educational. His attention to detail and the process of which he uses his talent to transcribe his thoughts and ideas are second to none. He knows how to innovate and transform while staying true to the underlying intent and purpose of the music. He is always a gentleman and represents himself with enthusiasm and an encouraging attitude that makes any musical project or situation a pleasure.
Patrick Matarazzo, Director of Bands, Allen County Community College
I have had the pleasure of working with Ryan Talbert on several projects requiring original music compositions, and I must say, his talent knows no bounds. Ryan possesses a remarkable ability to compose music across various genres and styles, catering to the unique needs of each project with ease. One of the most impressive aspects of Ryan's work is his efficiency. Despite the diverse demands placed on him, Ryan consistently delivered high-quality compositions within the designated timeframes. Ryan is receptive to feedback and is always willing to make adjustments to ensure that the music perfectly complemented the project's vision. Working with Ryan was a pleasure, and I look forward to collaborating with him again in the future.
Matt Simpson, Drill Writer & Band Director, Bryant School District
Ryan has been nothing but amazing! He's a wonderful young composer who continues to grow in his musical abilities. Ryan has fresh ideas. He makes sure he listens to his clients wants and needs. Anytime we need a change, it's done quickly and correctly! We are so excited to be working with Ryan this year and hope to do so in the future!

RYAN TALBERT

MEET THE FOUNDER

Marching band wasn't always part of the plan. In fact, I almost walked away before giving it a real chance. After one season, everything changed. I discovered the impact this activity can have on students, not just as musicians, but as people, and it inspired me to pursue composition and music education.

Today, I write custom marching band shows with that same purpose in mind. Every production is designed to challenge students, build confidence, and create an experience they'll remember long after the season ends.

I believe a composer should be more than someone who delivers sheet music. That's why I stay involved throughout the season, offering unlimited rewrites, ongoing design consultation, and direct collaboration to help every program get the most from its production.

I don't write shows for everyone, and that's intentional. I partner with directors who want a collaborative creative process and a custom marching band show built specifically for their students, their goals, and their vision.
