Scholastic Marching Arts

Scholastic Marching Arts provides solutions for your full band, including winds, percussion, guard, and leadership. With decades of experience, we specialize in both marching and concert band for middle and high school ensembles. We focus on skillsets, fundamentals, reading systems, technique, and musicianship. The new name of our company is Scholastic Marching Arts LLC, or SMA for short!

SMA staff are currently in the trenches teaching successful winning programs in Colorado, and we give you step-by-step methods that WORK. We take the mystery out of things that scare you! Every July, we received so many calls for band camp instruction that we could not be everywhere all the time. There is a shortage of quality instruction, and we have reimagined traditional scholastic music instruction to reach more people and meet unprecedented demand. You get the tools for success, and to add to your knowledge bank. We are who you come to woe you have limited, young, or new instruction, We can supervise, advise, and make your entire program better with our methods.

SMA combines new ideas, technology, and a streamlined curriculum with a combination of consultation, demonstration, and solid methods. We give you a custom plan to take care of your individual needs, which gives you tools to manage things yourself or through your very young techs —or even a high school section leader who stands in front of your kids every day! Remember that even DCI or WGI vets may know how to play, but are sometimes unrealistic about goals and how to connect with younger and inexperienced students. It is our job to bridge the gap and empower you to get what you need from these young adults.

SMA has many options. We recommend la carte options that suit your program and your budget. We offer instruction, methods, workshops, tools, arranging, ethics, advice, exercises, and direct guidance for your students and staff.

Scholastic Marching Arts want to get you started in the spring and give you support through the summer and fall. We encourage you to plan early and include it in the process to give you peace of mind, a plan, and someone to hold your hand through the season.
