Pygraphics, Inc. - Dynamic Drill Design

Pygraphics, Inc. would like to congratulate the 2010 US Army All American Marching Band members on their performance during the bowl game that was held January 9th, 2010 at the Alamodome in San Antonio, Texas. Some of the most talented high school marching musicians were selected to participate in the half time show at the US Army All American bowl. All students had little time for rehearsal with the full ensemble as the students flew from all points of the country. This puts a great deal of responsibility on the performer and shows the type of maturity and independence that classifies an ensemble member of the US Army All American Marching Band.

We at Pyware were thrilled to be able to contribute once again by providing the educational tools necessary for these performers to learn their show before they arrived in San Antonio. One parent was kind enough to discuss how easy it was for their son to learn the drill using the Performer's Practice Tools:

"...That Pyware set up is an amazing piece of technology. After only 20 minutes, Blake seems to have the first drill memorized completely. I've never seen anything like that..."

To see if the Performer's Practice Tools software could benefit your ensemble, you may read more about it here.

Pyware offers great flexibility and ease to drill writing, and has enhanced the creative process with its 3D application. Pyware is a must have for everyone from the novice drill writer to the experienced professional."
