  • "Zack has been a tremendous asset to our band program this year. I do not believe there is anyone in the marching arts who is more organized than he is. He makes our job SO MUCH EASIER.

  • Zack's drill writing is thoughtful, well-crafted, practical, and remarkably effective, always serving both the design and performance goals of the ensemble."

  • "My favorite thing about Zack is the ability to know your group and their strengths and weaknesses. He has spent time with my students in rehearsals, quickly gauging their ability levels and their interests. He then takes that knowledge and develops an incredible product tailored not only to the director’s expectations, but to what the kids will buy into and love."
