Custom Music 

Make your next show stand out with a custom composition or arrangement from GPG Music! We will provide you with a unique production tailored to your specific needs so we can achieve a perfect fit for your program. This allows us to tailor every nuance of the production from start to finish based on your specific criteria for styles, ranges, and difficulty levels. Our percussion writers pride themselves on music that is easy to teach and easy to clean while being enjoyable for your performers to play. Every custom commission includes:

 

 

Custom Drill

In order to achieve a fully integrated musical and visual design, GPG Music offers on-time drill design services to complement any pre-written or originally-composed show. GPG designers know our music better than anybody else and will provide a unique, fresh, and creative approach to drill design. We take into account your equipment changes and the incorporation of body visuals. We want to deliver a fully integrated visual design that also
allows your music to be achieved at a high level without excessive listening demands. Included are:

 

Custom Guard Choreography

Take your coordination to the next level with custom guard choreography from GPG Music. Whether paired with your existing drill or our custom drill, GPG designers will write flag and limited weapon choreography that is tailored to your ensemble’s ability level and specific needs. Customize further by upgrading to choreography for expanded voices or props (additional charges apply). The sky is the limit with our custom choreography packages!

 

 

Custom Visual Choreography 

Take your show to the next level with stunning body visuals featuring count-by-count instructions for body movement! You can incorporate as much or as little into your show or use it as a springboard for your own ideas.

 

 

 

Sound Design

Have us enhance your show with a custom soundscape or Sound FX addition!

We can create sound effects to enhance impacts, thematic ideas, or just have your show stand out with a different flavor. We will provide files in the file-type you need based on your equipment or can give you a ready-to-use MainStage file.

We can also create synth parts if the show does not have any and provide you a ready-to-use MainStage file (Apple product) with synth patches based on the sound libraries you have available for use.

**If a show already has a Synth part and Sound FX as a part of the design, you do not need to purchase this product to utilize those sounds as they are already included!

Notation Files

Find harmony faster by fine-tuning the music and orchestration. We provide you the source notation files and music XML exported directly from the notation software that you can open or import into your own software. Tweak, change, and fix away until you have the perfect show to showcase for your ensemble’s strengths! Please note these files are from various years in history and for use with specific sound libraries so behavior may be erratic.

This XML file is also compatible with MakeMusic Cloud (previously SmartMusic) for practice and assessment.
