The Dynamic Marching Band is a textbook for college marching band methods class students and a resource book for current band directors, now available as an eBook with live links to resources.

Wayne Markworth was the Director of Bands at Centerville High School in Ohio for 35 years. During that tenure he built a total band program encompassing 3 concert bands, 3 jazz ensembles, 2 winter guards, 2 winter percussion ensembles and the marching band known nationally as “The Centerville Jazz Band.”

He has taken his years of experience and knowledge and created a marching band book that will help establish a foundation for a successful band program and save the young director countless hours of work and experimentation. The veteran band director will find new approaches and ideas to take a fresh look at old methods.

The New Edition is an E-Book with all of the added features including active links to websites, articles and videos. It contains added material reflecting the many changes that have occurred in the marching band activity and pedagogy in the last 10 years. Wayne continues to stay abreast of the contemporary band scene through judging, clinics, rehearsals and contacts with directors and experts in the field.

One of the key ingredients of The Dynamic Marching Band are the Supplemental Material Downloads available online to book owners.  Materials include sample schedules, policies, recruiting tools, show plan guides and many other useful tools all in Word document or Excel format that can be adjusted and edited to match the band director’s program and goals.
