Visual Design

Which came first: the chicken or the egg? The music or the drill? The smile or the Monk?

Who knows, and that's the point: great music and great drill should coexist in a way that transcends either element individually, and leaves the viewer wondering which was created first. It's called "coordination," and it guides everything we do.

We'll let you in on a little secret: coordination occurs through the implementation of a vision which has been developed through communication amongst the visual and musical designers. In other words, you will get the most coordinated package from a design team who communicates as frequently, openly, and with as much detail as those of us here at Marching Monk. Allow us to outfit your band with great music AND fantastic visual design, and experience coordinated effect at its finest!

What can you expect from our visual designers?

  1. the "drill," complete with Pyware 3D-generated full-page sets along with individual student coordinate sheets. Of course, our product includes "subsets" for easier teaching and cleaning of complex transitions.
  2. the "dedication" to designing teachable, cleanable, and logical drill with clear, detailed instructions.
  3. the "cognizance" of the unique strengths and ability levels of your students to be translated into the visual design
  4. the "extras:" includes fully-planned color guard equipment changes, prop placement, suggestions for moments of body movement, horn lifts, directional facings, etc.

To complete your total visual package, we can also design your color guard book as well as create distinctive, approachable body movement and "horn visuals" for the entire band.
