About VMD
High-quality, pedagogically appropriate design
For every ensemble size and ability level, we always strive to provide high quality, pedagogically appropriate music and drill. Just because marching band is fun doesn't mean the music can't also be of high quality. Quality music and drill will ultimately provide a better learning experience for the students and a better teaching experience for the staff. Because we are so focused on student experience, we also make sure each part is pedagogically appropriate for that section. A wide range of customization options make it easy to tailor parts to your students so that they will look and sound their best.
The Designer: Bradley Sampson
Bradley brings a unique combination of skills to marching arts design. He is first and foremost an educator, and always writes with the students in mind. He also has significant experience as a performer and teacher within the brass, percussion, and visual captions, allowing him to design a holistic product that works well for every section and flows from start to finish. He received a Bachelor's Degree in Music Education from Brigham Young University and a Master's Degree in Horn Performance from the University of Utah. His wonderful wife is a middle school band teacher and they enjoy solving Rubik's cubes when they aren't teaching band together.
