The Full Design Approach
My designs include unlimited communication throughout the design process, ON-TIME delivery, and customization for your ensemble.
Communication
I offer unlimited communication with your design and instructional teams throughout the design process. This includes unlimited phone and email discussions.
ON-TIME Delivery
On-Time delivery is crucial to your group’s success, so it is my top priority. We will always communicate our timelines so that your performers can get the show on the field or floor!
Customization
All designs are customized for your group. We will work to stage and plan effects together based on your cast and the skill level of the performers.

CUSTOM DESIGNS SUPERVISED BY MITCH
AND WRITTEN BY A SKILLED ASSOCIATE
These shows are written in a collaboration between Mitch and a talented associate designer. This arrangement offers you one of Mitch’s talented associate designers guided by Mitch’s experience and skill at a significantly LOWER PRICE as compared to a drill solely designed by Mitch.

Both Mitch and the associate will work with you from conception through drill design. Mitch will supervise the drill designer discussing design options, reviewing every page of drill, suggesting drill and show ideas and when necessary writing some of the drill himself to GUARANTEE on-time delivery.
