Orien Landis
American Fork High School Band Director
Jess is an outstanding designer! We’ve been using her as a designer for years and for the last 3 years as a program coordinator. She is organized, thoughtful, and knowledgeable. I would recommend her to anyone looking to improve their marching band or winter guard design or if they are in need or a program coordinator.
Jess is the real deal! For years we’ve been using her as our program coordinator and designer for our marching band and winter guard here at American Fork. Since that point our program has taken massive leaps forward. Our design is competitive with some of the best programs in the country. She is extremely easy to work with, she makes ordering materials and getting things together very easy, and she is a wealth of knowledge. If you are looking for cutting edge design and needing someone to make life easier for you as a director then she is your woman. I would recommend her to anyone.

Jessica is a total professional. Her musical experience coupled with her eye for design make her uniquely positioned to bring any production to new and greater heights. It is no accident that every production Jessica touches turns to gold.

We have loved working with Jessica for the past few years. The staff, parents, students, and community have noticed a big difference in our program design, and can tell that our band program is taking it to the next level. Jessica has been so easy to work with, and I appreciate the discussions we have had together to create the best product for my students. Every year we are excited to see what the next idea and vision will be. She has helped make my job easier as a band director, and I 10/10 would recommend her.

Chris Creswell
Music Arranger
Working with Jessica has been a joy. Her cohesive sense of style shines through in every aspect of show coordination, from music selection and visual elements to colors, story, and pacing. She provides a sophisticated design tailored to the sensibilities of your group. This makes my job as an arranger much easier, as there’s no guesswork in understanding the style and moods I need to create.
Natalie Moore
Color Guard Director at Sullivan High School
In the first choreo video we received, the guard and I could feel Jessica’s energy through the screen. She connects with the guard by helping them feel they’re in the room with her as she teaches.
Her choreography is beautiful, with amazing dance elements!!! Her attention to detail has been so helpful as the guard has worked.
I think the most impressive is Jessica’s communication. She is prompt with answering questions and willing to watch rehearsal videos and offer feedback throughout the season. This is the first time in 24 years we’ve had someone different for choreo, and we are excited to see the results from her teaching!
