Kudos to Robert Strunks and RMS Visual Designs.  Robert has been our drill designer for the last three years and has been an integral part of our success.  His drill is always unique, innovative, and competitive, which sets us apart from other groups in any classification.  He works well with specific aspects of the drill that we request, and has always been available to us if we need anything.  It is indeed a pleasure to work with Robert.

"Robert is a true professional.  The drill we received from him was on-time, complete and without error.  He incorporated every concept we requested and followed all of the guidelines that we set.  In addition, the drill was very effective and went on the field quickly and easily.  Robert clearly understands how to generate velocity in movement on the field and how to maximize the effectiveness of a band's musical program."

Robert has written drill for my band for the last 4 years. Each drill has been a fantastic visual representation of the music that my kids were playing. The drill is very easy to teach and fits my students’ ability level perfectly. His directions on each chart are perfectly clear and aide in the quick learning of each drill. Robert has always provided my band with a great product for my students with incredibly professional and timely service. I can’t wait for my kids to learn another drill by RMS Visual Design.

RMS Visual Design gave us fantastic drill! The drill was WRITTEN EXACTLY to our specifications, and was delivered on time and on budget. I would highly refer RMS to any of my colleagues!

I continue to thank you Robert Strunks for the outstanding marching band drill design concepts that he has written for our band during the past 9 years. Our students have been very successful using Robert's drill. Our band is a Tournament of Bands (TOB) member and competes in the 350 member TOB circuit in the mid-atlantic. Over the last 8 years, our band has qualified for the Atlantic Coast Championship five times and much of this success is due to Robert's creative drill.  Visual design has become a big part of our success.  Visual judges have given our shows very positive comments and the readability of our visual program has been complemented frequently.  I have also found Robert to be the consummate professional and very easy to work with.  We plan to continue using Robert's services for our visual program.  It is with the highest regard that I recommend RMS Visual Design by Robert Strunks.

As a director of a small school band, I appreciate the attention Robert gives to our special needs.  His flexibility in operating within our time frame and to adjust his drill to accomodate for the problems inherent in small groups is why he gets our business. (customer for the past 5 yrs)

I cannot begin to tell you how impressed I am with the quality of writing that Robert does for my marching band.  Over the years, I have employed several different drill  writers (including a Top 12 Drum & Bugle corps caption head) and have never been this satisfied with my visual presentation.  His drill designs incorporate many original ideas and his visual presentations incorporate some of the best flow and transition I have ever seen.  His shows clean very quickly and easily as a result.  Robert’s shows have helped us to dramatically improve our marching execution during the past two years that he has written for us, culminating this year with an overall 3rd place finish in the Louisiana Showcase of Marching Bands, which is the premier marching band event in the state of Louisiana.  You can rest assured we will continue to keep him busy writing for our band program.  Thanks, Robert.

I have been using RMS Visual Design for the last 4 years and, without exception, Robert has given me drill that compliments the music extremely well and brings out the best in my students. They are challenged, but not overwhelmed, and always enjoy working through his drills. He has made my job a lot easier.

The drill had the right people in the right place at the right time.  Robert listened to all of our requests and the drill had great flow and was written at the correct difficulty level.  The drill was very effective and easy to clean. 
As a result we had a VERY successful competitive season- the best year for the school yet!”

Dear Mr. Robert Strunks:

 

The purpose of this letter is to thank you for writing our marching drill design.  I appreciate your flexibility and professionalism.  Throughout the years, our visual performance scores have greatly improved.  Many have noted the creativity and thought that is put into the field design. Working with you has benefited my students greatly, as you have been willing to work with me in designing the drill to showcase their strengths. I look forward to working with you again next year.  

 

Sincerely,
