In most cases either our in-house drill design coordinator or the designer themselves can be available to discuss your situation after receipt of the contract  We request you complete section of the contract that pertains to the drill design and make all requests in writing with very clear expectations for the designer to work from. We will review the requests and contact you should we have need for further clarification. All new requests must be made less than 6 weeks before your delivery due date.

You can change your instrumentation numbers up until the drill has gone into production. Once the show has been started, there can be changes made, but will slow the production down and will more than likely change your delivery date. If it is a simple fix, that usually isn't a big deal. If you would like to schedule a re-write for an additional fee this can be done and we will get you into our schedule after that date (see contract for more details, or contact us...we'll be glad to help you in any way possible).

All of our designers work on a first-come, first-serve basis and fill up quite early. As we do not have a "deadline" for reservations.

If you are in need of a custom drill, please don't hesitate to contact us as we will make sure you are taken care of!

This depends on when you turn in your contract.  Generally we need a month to start turning around drill, and this all depends on when we receive the contract and your materials.  We generally do not write an entire show all at once. 

May 1st 

We complete shows in the order that we receive materials, and like to start on all shows no later than June 1st. 

Please contact us if your dates of delivery require special attention.  We realize that no two schools are the same!

Shows that must be qualified for, such as state championships, are not protected since there is no way to know ahead of time what schools will be able to attend.  If you have any questions about this, or would like to add additional protections at an additional fee, please contact msc@msconcepts.com or 800-356-4381 

We design the drill in such a way that most any band size can customize it with little difficulty. Performer order is always maintained to ensure that your sections do not become inter-mixed. We suggest that you try your best to divide your band into four equal sections to ensure the integrity of the drill. Instructions and tips for adapting the drill are included in the Definitions and Symbols page in your drill book.

For additional help, please contact us at the office...but don't forget that you can also sign up on our sister site www.pywareuniversity.com to go through the entire program and learn everything there is to know about it!

Music and drill are contest protected, on a first come-first serve basis, for each contest performance location you will be attending during the current marching season. This policy protects each band program purchasing this show or music exclusivity based on their performance schedule providing a one-of-a-kind show at each contest location regardless of state lines.

The band program that has the show and the contest locations locked in first, will be the sole decision maker to determine if another program can also compete at the same location. This will only be attempted at the request of the director who is trying to get a specific contest site cleared.

Yes, however, ALL changes must be cleared by our staff before attending the new contest location as well as having the updates in writing. This can be done by faxing in the updated paper work that is supplied to you in the contracts or contacting us at msc@msoncepts.com or calling us 800-356-4381.

No, all Center X shows and the music arrangements are protected per each contest site that your band will be performing during the course of the season.

We are just like any other company with employees who have to be paid in a timely manner. Would you ask any other company such as Target or Walmart the same question? :-)

Absolutely!  

MSC shows all have choreography pre-designed.  However, there are many other shows on the site that have choreography that has been completed.  Please contact us to find out which shows are available, or how much it will be to have a custom show designed for you!
