Dear Directors,

With over twelve years of experience as a competitive high school marching band director in nationally recognized circuits, I understand the pressure of creating a show that both challenges students and performs well. I have experienced long rehearsals, late-night rewrites, discussions about enhancing effects, and the challenge of developing a program that is competitive while also being supportive of students and the community.

That experience now informs my work as an arranger, show designer, and program coordinator. I focus on creating custom productions tailored to your ensemble, your goals, and your circuit—I don't do generic. My designs prioritize clarity, pacing, educational value, and practical solutions to real-world constraints.

If you’re seeking a collaborative partner who understands the demands of this activity and can help elevate your program, my team and I would love to work with you.

My Services:

  • Wind Arranging

  • Show Design Consultation

  • Program Coordination

  • Adjudication

I have created custom arrangements for a variety of bands. Here are a few:

“We have had the privilege of working with Mr. Rob Traugh as our marching band arranger for the past twelve seasons, and I cannot express enough how grateful we are for his exceptional talent and dedication.  Rob is a true master of his craft; his arrangements have transformed our band's performances into many unforgettable experiences.  Rob possesses the ability to capture the essence of each musical piece.  His creativity and attention to detail with varied genres shine, as well as creating arrangements that were not only educationally appropriate but also engaging to the student.  Throughout the entire design process, Rob is committed and communicates effectively to all involved.  He is receptive to everyone's ideas/vision and is willing to adapt when necessary.  Our students enjoy working with Rob and love performing his arrangements.

We look forward to working with Rob for many years to come.”
