We believe that students all over this age range can be successful in our organization as long as you are committed to excellence and willing to put in the wo...

I returned to the Marching Drill Down this week to show how to write another legendary drill move; The Diamond Cutter from Cavaliers 2000!

Wow! Hard to believe this was 10 YEARS ago. One of two Halftime Magazine articles I've been featured in. 🙂

Hello! I'll be streaming while having fun writing a winter guard show demo. Stop by and say hello!

I thought it would be fun to just hang out and write a winter guard show for fun. This isn't for any real color guard, but I thought this song could be a fun...

Stay tuned and find out for Halloween!

First official video!
Fall Guys.... but marching band! (actually drum corps 😉)
I'm really proud of how this turned came together!
Let me know what you think, and subscribe to see how I was able to create this.

Well, it's actually a Drum Corps instrumentation and skill level. 😉 While playing the game Fall Guys I realized how awesome the music is and thought this tra...

Little preview. This demo has been SUPER challenging to get going. I've restarted multiple times and have had to design hundreds of new texture images to get it working right. But finally on the right track. :D

Be sure to subscribe at youtube.com/onthedotmarching so you will know when the full video is published.

Finally finished prototype 1! 🤩
Emblem is 3D printed, the lights are controlled by a small WiFi transceiver, and powered by a small USB battery bank. All the electronics are held in the top using 3D printed brackets which allow for quick removal for charging and storage.

Final version will also be water resistant.

Subscribe to my YouTube channel where I’ll show how I made it and my plans for more light up equipment.

Hello everyone!
If you're interested in learning more about using Pyware and marching design, sign up for tonight's first Pyware Homeschool Master Class.
I'm doing the first one with many more designers to follow over the next few weeks!

Practical use of the Real View in the Design Process

So, likely no demo today. 😭
I'm going to try basically starting from scratch. I had a lot of old image and prop files tied into this from my early experiments that are confusing Pyware.

On the plus side, I'll be able to remake this super quick since I learned so much from my first few attempts!

First full video coming to the channel will be a demo drill I've been playing with for months.
I've had a lot of technical challenges pushing Pyware into doing things it's not meant to do, not to mention my poor computer!

I'm going to try wrapping this up to publish sometime tomorrow. 😁

After that, I will be putting out a video explaining the various techniques and tricks I used to create it.

While you may not need to write for groups that have gigantic laser projectors (yet), there should be some useful things that you can use in writing for any group!
