Let GPG provide a unique, fresh, and creative drill design that is competitively priced! We take into account your equipment changes and the incorporation of body choreography. We pride ourselves on the appropriate staging of musical voices in relation to on-field execution without excessive demand. You'll receive animation videos of the drill synced to the music, PDF's of the drill pages and Coordinate Sheets, and UDB integration.
