| For 9 years, I wrote all of our halftime shows by hand. I finally decided to contact a drill writer and I am so pleased with the experience. Matt was easy to work with and delivered a fantastic show for my students; had I known, I would have done it sooner! He wrote a show that was beyond my expectations and the students love it! The video of the show really helps the kids understand the show. I will definitely use Matt again next year and I am looking forward to building a collegial relationship with him.

Matt currently serves in the position of assistant director and is in charge of the visual program for the Railroader Regiment. Matt has been a huge addition to my staff. He has created a tradition of strong visual performances for my students. Matt has a way of making basics fun and it shows in the way my students present themselves and move on the field. Through Matt’s hard work and professional ethics, he has earned the respect of my students, parents, boosters, and administration. |
| It is indeed pleasure to recommend Matt Wyse as a drill designer. His willingness to listen to my needs and adjust to my imput and suggestions was wonderful! He was very sensitive to my timeline and hit every deadline on or before the date needed. His designs were relative to my bands ability as I had described them to him. This attention to detail gave us the opportunity to have outstanding visual moments without being overwhelmed by something so difficult we couldn't concentrate on the musical portion of the program. He was able to create a look and sense of velocity without making the drill so challenging! You will be pleased with his product! Pat Mason Band Director Cocke County High School Newport, TN |

This being my first show, I was very excited to get custom drill. Though we are hundreds and hundreds of miles away, he was very flexible and responsive with all the drill. The work was what I was wanting. Easy enough, but challenging at the same time giving it a drum corp quality. I liked it, the students liked it, and the judges liked it. I recommend using Matt Wyse Drill Design if you want a great custom show. Mr. Anthony Yi |

I am proud to give Matt my full recommendation. He was extremely easy to work with as a teacher in a new district. Very reasonable prices and quality work done in a timely manner despite busy DCI and BOA seasons. It was a pleasure working with Matt and I fully intend on using him in the future.

Matt, I wanted to write to you to tell you how great your show you wrote for us worked. With this being only the 2nd year of the band marching and 3rd year of the music department existence, your drill worked BETTER than I expected. It gave me the opportunity to work basics out during camp and then reinforce them when drill was being taught. It reinforced, spacial awareness, cover down and guide concepts as well as adjusted step sizes. I absolutely loved how quickly the students were able to clean the show based on the intervals you wrote. Not only did it make the band look bigger, but you made it so the forms would clean fast. Thanks so much for all your attention to the band not only with the re writes, but the clinic you did for our band in October. Matt, I have had many a drill writer over the years, but I have never been happier with the results of a show as I have been with yours. The members of the band have shown great strides in accomplishing their goal of completing the show and adding all the “cool” visuals. This is due in part to your expertise in the area of drill design. Thank you again for your time and for allowing me to have input in the design of the show. As I said in our phone conversations over and over………..the drill looked awesome. It is with great pleasure that I write you this letter of support. As the Director of Bands at Robert Morris University, I am pleased to say that we will have a long, long collaboration with each other. Anyone that examines your work will see that you have been very successful in creating and maintaining a high level of excellence within the instrumental programs that you have been associated with. Your excellent work ethic and strong sense of commitment is surpassed only by your professionalism and sincere love for teaching. I am very fortunate to call Matt Wyse a friend and colleague. He constantly displayed a strong commitment to excellence, and a love of music education and drill design in general that is unsurpassed. You will be hard-pressed find a more qualified, deserving or suitable drill designer. Michael J. Madonia |

Matt is very easy to work with. He brings fresh ideas to each show and group he works with. He takes time to understand the band and show each year so that he can write drill that is customized to your band and takes into account its strengths and weaknesses. The result is a show that highlights the musical and visual strengths of the band. Jeff Huber |

The drill written for our show was spectacular. Even with the limited knowledge of my program, Mr. Wyse was able to write drill that was appropriately challenging for my students, fun for them to learn and perform, and impressed judges. He is easy to work with and my students enjoyed his teaching when he worked with the group. With his drill, we qualified for state finals for the first time in six years. I am proud to use Mr. Wyse as our drill writer! Mr. Douglas Olenik |

Working with Matt has been phenomenal! Our drill has always been creative, easy to communicate to both students and judges, and even better...on time! He makes us feel like a priority...tailoring our show to our specific needs, working my ideas into the show and very flexible when it comes to revisions. We consider him part of our band family!
