I was very happy with Fred and his drill. He understands the needs of small school directors and gave me plenty of attention. He is very easy to work with. He understands clearly that directors must often address circumstances and needs that force “artistic expression” of drill into a lower priority. For instance, one year I asked him for drill that was “more blocky, less curvy” because my students had trouble with curved shapes. However, he is also very capable of writing artistic drill for bands who can execute it. I recommend Fred to anyone.

Gulf Coast Drill Design has been designing drill for the Pilot Point High School band for the last three years. Mr. Meyer has done an outstanding job in customizing drill that is specifically tailored to my group of students. He has written high level shows that have been very competitive toward other shows being written in the area. The creativity and design of the shows have been outstanding. One of the reasons why I keep coming back to Mr. Meyer is the level of professionalism that he has toward his clients. He has always been willing to make adjustments throughout the season and tries to stay in touch with his clients to make sure everything is going well. I would highly recommend Fred Meyer at Gulf Coast Drill Design.

I have used Mr. Meyer’s drill writing services for the past two years and have been very impressed with the outcome of the show. He works really well with you to put together a show that fits your group and music. He understands how a show needs to look in order to get the most impact from the drill. Mr. Meyer is very easy to work with and he is always ready to try new things in his drill writing. I would recommend that anyone use Mr. Meyer for their drill and I believe they would be as satisfied as I am with his drill writing.

I have been a client of Mr. Meyer for the last two years and will absolutely continue to have him design our drill. He is dedicated to working with you so you get a show written the way you want it. His work is excellent, affordable, and I always receive my drill when I need it. If I ever need to request any changes, he gets then done quickly. I have been very satisfied with the work he has done for us. You will be smart to give him a chance to see what he can do for your band.

I serve as color guard drill writer for numerous guards in our area. Fred Meyer has worked with me to help produce shows for several schools. He takes a great deal of time to listen and goes out of his way to make sure that the guard placement will enhance the band show. He is great to work with and I highly recommend him to any band director looking for a drill writer.
