  • His insights went beyond identifying issues—he provided real solutions.

    Several years ago, I saw an ad for a Virtual Clinic with John Meehan. Unsure what he could offer my high school band, I decided it was worth a try. He replied within a day, and after sending him a video and score, he returned two pages of detailed, actionable feedback. His insights went beyond identifying issues—he provided real solutions. Impressed, I hired him for more clinics, and over a decade later, I still value his feedback.

  • John Meehan is among the most gifted of the contemporary band composers.

    He intuitively creates memorable melodies, and that is a rare and wonderful talent which sets him apart from the crowd.

  • He is, in my opinion, one of the great arrangers in the marching activity today.

    I have had the privilege of teaching many of John's shows during the past several decades. From Pat Metheny and Eric Whitacre to his original shows Clocks and An American Autumn, John's writing is always innovative, detailed and above all - musical. More importantly is John's commitment to each and every show he writes. It is truly a pleasure to teach and listen to his great writing. He is, in my opinion, one of the great arrangers in the marching activity today.

  • John Meehan's music is fresh, youthful, and masterfully scored.

    John Meehan's composing and arranging style for competitive marching band is amazingly fresh, youthful and scored with vibrant texture and color. His wind scores are easily performed by the high school players of today because of his masterful approach to voicing and orchestration. John's knowledge of the marching activity combined with his creative genius blend wonderfully into "The Best of the Best" of competitive marching band shows. Don't let the opportunity to play a John Meehan original or arranged marching band masterpiece slip through your fingers.
