Field Artist is the best drill design software available anywhere, offered at a reasonable price.  It works well for drum and bugle corps, marching bands, color guard, indoor percussion, drill teams, and parades.  It runs on Windows Vista, Windows 7, or Windows XP.

Many exciting changes have been made to the program in the past few weeks. As always, these and any other updates and improvements are available for free to users who who purchased version 3.x of Field Artist.

We introduced this product in 1999 as a reasonably priced, solid drill design program for students and teachers. Now Field Artist is used by drill designers, music students and music educators around the world. We were the very first to introduce lifelike 3D animation with Field Artist 3 in 2008. We continue to provide the very best value for students and teachers on a budget, fulfilling our mission of making professional, powerful, world-class drill design tools available to all at a reasonable price. You don't have to pay more for drill software than you would pay for an operating system. Field Artist 3 has all the power you need to unleash your creative potential and compete with the big guys.

With Field Artist you can define your cast, forms, and transitions and animate your show to audio or MIDI music.  The available transitions include float, pivot, follow the leader, and more. 

You can print show charts, cast sheets, and detailed step instructions for every cast member.  You can choose from among pre-defined field sizes for marching band, indoor color guard, percussion and more, or define your own custom field sizes. You can make videos of your show with music that are suitable for YouTube.

2011 is the 13th year that Field Artist has been continuously available on this web site.
