Testimonials

“Our program made a huge leap forward in one season through Scott’s guidance, not only through the design stage, but also through his evaluation and suggestions for myself and the rest of the staff throughout our season.”

“Working with FMP and Scott Koter’s Signature show package was simply the best. They treated me seriously, always right there through the entire process taking my group to the next level. Pièce de résistance is Scott’s audio feedback as part of the package like nowhere else. Unreservedly some of the best professional development I’ve ever had.”

“Scott’s audio comments and detailed design notes are extraordinary!. We follow his suggestions and achievement soars!”

“Scott was absolutely integral to the development of the Bluecoats, having served as a Program Consultant from 2001-2006, and again in 2009 and 2010. With ongoing support of our music designers during that time, he truly brought us into the modern era of arranging and programming and we would not have had the success we’ve been fortunate to experience recently.”

“Scott was a very important member of our staff as consultant and clinician. He was instrumental in the show planning and his insight and observations always improved our program and performances.”

Testimonials

“Rosie is simply one of the finest teachers I’ve ever known during my 40+ years in pageantry arts. If not for her, the Carmel High School Band Program (IN) would not be what it is today. Rosie is not just a wonderful color guard instructor, but she is also a tremendous designer who has helped to create many of the championship shows over the years at Carmel (marching band and color guard). If you are looking to truly develop a culture of excellence in your program, in my opinion, there is no one better than Rosie Queen. There are no words to describe how much I’ve learned from her over the years and there is certainly no one in our activity that I respect more.”

“Rosie Queen was an integral part of the Carmel team both with our color guard program and our total visual design. Her eye for detail and ability to find the best path forward for the show design and execution is unparalleled and we absolutely would not have reached the heights of excellence we have without her!’’

“Rosie Miller Queen is one of those famous names I’ve always heard associated with many great marching arts programs. When someone suggested that I reach out to her to help further our marching band program, I wasn’t sure a talent like hers would give us the time of day. Since day one Rosie has been nothing but the ultimate professional and has treated us like her very own program. From brainstorming concepts to final execution, Rosie works with our entire design team and instructional staff to make sure we are all bringing her wonderful ideas to life.”
