James Graham - Eastside High School Director of Bands
Being a small band of 41 performers, Matt’s drill has given us the opportunity to feel good about what he has written for us. It moves well and is very easy to read.
Pete Foster - Triton High School Director of Bands
The drill written for our show was spectacular. Even with the limited knowledge of my program, Mr. Wyse was able to write drill that was appropriately challenging for my students, fun for them to learn and perform, and impressed judges. He is easy to work with and my students enjoyed his teaching when he worked with the group. With his drill, we qualified for state finals for the first time in six years. I am proud to use Mr. Wyse as our drill writer!
Douglas Olenik - Ottawa-Glandorf High School Band Director
Working with Matt has been phenomenal! Our drill has always been creative, easy to communicate to both students and judges, and even better...on time! He makes us feel like a priority...tailoring our show to our specific needs, working my ideas into the show and very flexible when it comes to revisions. We consider him part of our band family!
