How much does a custom arrangement or drill design cost?Return to Top

There are several factors that need to be considered when pricing design services. Most arranging services range from approximately $600 to $1,500 depending on the complexity of the arrangement. Drill design cost is based on member size and complexity of drill. Festival bands tend to pay less than $1000 while a competitive band can be $1,200 for a small band up to several thousand for a larger band. Feel free to contact us for a more accurate quote.
