Ready to work with designers who get it? Join the growing family of programs who've discovered what it's like to work with partners who respect your vision, understand your students, and deliver exceptional design on time, every time. Let's talk about what we can create together.
Art shows give a band a visual identity before the first note: a colour, a dot, a sketch, a stencil on a wall. The shows here take their themes from Yayoi Kusama, Banksy, the primary colours and a painter bringing a world to life, and each one was written for a specific high school program.
Every show here is for sale as-is, as arrangements for a build-your-own show, or as the start of a partial custom show. Pricing is quoted per program.

Shows in this collection
Dot by Dot, written for Columbine High School in 2023, is a 6:00 intermediate show built on Kusama's infinite dots: Hindemith's Symphonic Metamorphosis, Grow Till Tall as the ballad, and Alfonso Muskedunder in the closer. Art of Rebellion, for Ola High School in 2022, is a street-art show inspired by Banksy: Bullet with Butterfly Wings, Rank & File, Everybody Wants to Rule the World and Revolution. Drawn to Life, for Travelers Rest in 2024, follows an artist sketching a world into being, with an original opener, Frank Ticheli's Blue Shades, Coldplay's Yellow and Lost It to Trying. In Living Color, for Lugoff-Elgin in 2025, is a beginner show for a small band built on True Colors, Rhapsody in Blue and Beethoven in Havana.
Why art themes work on a field
The visual program writes itself: dots, stencils, primary colours, a canvas filling in. Judges score general effect on how well music and visual agree, and an art show makes that agreement obvious.
Difficulty range
In Living Color is grade 2 to 3 for a small band. Dot by Dot and Drawn to Life are grade 3 to 4. Art of Rebellion reaches grade 5 in Rank & File and Revolution.
Buying an art show
Each show is for sale as written, as separate arrangements, or as the start of a partial custom show. The show graphics are included, which for an art show matters: the poster, the flag design direction and the colour palette come with the music. Licensing goes through Tresona and is paid by the school. Pricing is quoted per program.
No. The original performances used flags, a floor tarp or painted boards. The music and drill do not depend on any of them.
In Living Color, written at grade 2 to 3 for a small band and running 6:30.
The show graphic and colour direction are included. Flag design, props and choreography are available on request.
No. When you buy a pre-written show, we keep it exclusive to you in your circuit for that season. Custom shows are always exclusive to your program.
