Music Arranging:

For our marching arts clients, below are some links to some great arrangers that we’ve come to know over the past few years.While we can’t recommend one over the other (we love them all) and we license the music rather than perform it, we have worked with these guys enough to be able to say that they’re professional, they do their utmost to follow the law, and given the number of schools who use them we believe they’re all talented arrangers/composers.
