Marching Band Resources

How to Read Marching Band Drill
Here is my Google Slides introduction to how to read marching band drill charts and coordinate sheets.

Drill Field Diagram
Here is a football field diagram labeled with relevant markings for learning drill. Can be used with presentation above. 

Guide to Teaching and Cleaning Drill
This guide lays out instructional philosophies and methods from before the first set to the cleaning process.

Drill Set Tracker
In lieu of filling out a set of note cards or spiral bound "Dot Book" you can have students fill out this page of each movement of drill and place them in a binder. We created this when switching to the UDBapp and we still wanted students to benefit from the act of physically copying down coordinates.

Marking the Field
Should you find that you need to line your own football field, this guide is quite comprehensive. It was put together by band director Brendan Maltese and shared with his permission. In particular I am a fan of final page which gives measurements for spraying an ADJUSTED four step grid front to back.

Marching Examples YouTube Playlist
Here is​ a playlist of high quality marching technique examples that I like to show when teaching. 

Explanation of Timing/Phasing

This is the single best explanation of timing and pulse on the football field. 

​Drill Set Tracker
Created as a result of switching the to the UDBapp, I created the "Drill Set Tracker" as a way for students to still write down their coordinates as an exercise but in a format that could live in their binders.

Quick Drill Reference
This image is easily viewed/saved on phones or could be printed on cards as a quick reference for students when they are on the field learning drill.
