We provide many options, including: custom music arrangements, original compositions, and pre-written arrangements that are customizable or sold "as is."
In addition to wind music, we can also offer battery and pit percussion music for both outdoor and indoor shows. All custom arrangements and compositions are written specifically for your group with as much or as little input as you desire. You will be satisfied! |

Our drill is written using the
latest software by designers with experience writing for groups of
every ability level and size. We also can now provide color guard design!
We want you to have the most cohesive show possible. Our drill designers
will speak with your guard staff about their needs and will also suggest
body moves and visuals for the musicians. You'll receive easy to read
drill charts along with coordinate sheets to help your members keep
tidy dot books. |

Don't have the time to design
a whole show yourself? Out of ideas or looking for a fresh perspective?
At C.E. Kilian Designs we can pick the music, storyboard the
show, design the show concept, design the props, provide show logos
for
t-shirts...YOU NAME IT!
We can do it all for less! |

seminars, or even have us come in and teach your band camp.
