Wayne Downey has teamed up with Marching Gurus Todd Ryan and Shawn Glyde to bring to you the first marching band method to teach both marching & playing technique simultaneously.

It will transform your rehearsal into an efficient quick paced learning experience for your students. The exercises focus on the development of essential technical and physical skills necessary for success as a musical marching performer in the modern day marching band.

Have you ever ask yourself why most band directors teach marching and playing technique separately when in fact students in performance situations rely on both skills simultaneously. The basis of both individual techniques must be taught separately at first but the lack of opportunity to develop these skills simultaneously outside of performance and competition has always been a problem.

Armed with that realization, I along with my colleagues have created "XtremeMarching & Playing Technique" to help you maximize your rehearsal time as well as retool your student’s approach to performance on the field by combining both their marching and playing techniques into one performance skill.
