The Complete Marching Band Resource Manual provides the first serious guidebook for the intricate art of directing high school or college marching bands. Wayne Bailey presents both the fundamentals and the advanced techniques that are essential for successful leadership of a marching band: music instruction, choreography, and band management. In this second edition, Bailey provides band instructors with even more diagrams as well as information on computer charting techniques.
The book is divided into four units. The first provides the fundamentals of the marching band and its terminology, marching forms and movements, selection and arrangement of music, charting of formations, and ways to arrange a show. Unit two covers music instruction, improvement of marching and memorization skills, warmups, methods for building endurance and power, and ways to organize band rehearsals. The third unit provides instruction in choosing props and structuring auxiliary units, as well as guidance in tuning and staging the marching percussion line. The fourth unit is a collection of resource ideas, including one hundred and twenty drill charts and three musical arrangements for analysis.

Teaching Marching Band Techniques Book,
By David Stern (Lubbock, TX United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Complete Marching Band Resource Manual: Techniques and Materials for Teaching, Drill Design, and Music Arranging (Plastic Comb)
This text covers all aspects of "how to" for teaching a successful marching band program. The examples are clear and the prose is easily understood. The information is very pragmatic. The text contains three selections as examples with accompanying drill charts. It lacks an index.

Great Resource for Newer Band Leadership,
By
This review is from: The Complete Marching Band Resource Manual: Techniques and Materials for Teaching, Drill Design, and Music Arranging (Plastic Comb)
This is a very helpful resource to someone putting a marching band program together. The authors share positive philosophies such as setting things up so your band can continually succeed, breaking down the show into conquerable pieces, etc. They provide several field show diagrams and a master sheet that can be reproduced to draw one's own. Their expectation is that a band director would prepare one elaborate field show per year and spend the season learning and perfecting that field show. There is also guidance on parade participation. Especially good if the reader is new to marching band, but experienced leaders would also get good reminders.
