YOUR MARCHING BAND'S SECRET WEAPON
At Chris Kilian Music, I create custom compositions and arrangements designed around your ensemble’s unique instrumentation, ability level, and creative vision. "CKM is your ensemble's secret weapon!"
I'm also available for concert band commissions, contest adjudiicadtion, clinics, and wherever else your imagination leads you. My goal is to be an indispensable resource for you and your program. Click on the button below and let's chat about the many possibilities.
Off-the-shelf shows may seem convenient—but they often leave sections under-challenged or fail to reflect what makes your program unique. That’s where I come in. As a 30-plus year veteran of the marching arts, I partner with directors and students to build shows that inspire students, excite audiences and raise your program’s profile. From the first draft to final performance, I’m your collaborator to the last step.
I stay involved from first draft to final performance—offering edits and rewrites throughout your competitive season as your show evolves and feedback rolls in. When you hire me, you get a collaborator who’s in it until the last show day.
Let’s build something original, exciting, and unmistakably yours.
