Show Design On a Budget

  • Summary

  • In this episode, we welcome Jeff Quamo (Chandler HS) and Rick McEnenay (Flagstaff HS) to share their strategies for designing effective shows on a budget.

    Jeff Quamo reflects on his journey in crafting high-quality drill and music, beginning at Mesa HS with Robbie Brooks. He’s collaborated with the same arranger for 15 years and began his tenure at Chandler with a show that resonated deeply with the community. His key message: General Effect doesn’t require massive props.

    Rick McEnenay, a veteran music educator and administrator, emphasizes the importance of listening to the community. At Flagstaff, they incorporate something new into each show. The band regularly performs at NAU Band Day and attends Division Championships to watch, but their greatest pride is the supportive community they’ve built. Rick writes his own drill and co-designs the show with his wife, often opting for off-the-rack solutions for uniforms and colorguard to stay within budget.
