About

EDS Marching Productions represents the drill design work of Eric D. Staats.

Eric Staats is currently the principal at Spencer Elementary School in Spencer, West Virginia. He has previously held positions at Ripley High School (Ripley, WV), Parkersburg South High School (Parkersburg, WV), Edison Middle School (Parkersburg, WV), Williamstown High School (Williamstown, WV), and Cammack Middle School (Huntington, WV). He has an undergraduate degree in Music Education and a masters degree in Leadership Studies (Administration of Public Schools) from Marshall University. While studying at MU (1995-99), Eric had the opportunity to work under several staff members from the “Bluecoats,” “Madison Scouts,” and “Phantom Regiment” drum corps. His drill designs have been performed throughout West Virginia/Ohio/Pennsylvania/Maryland and have proven successful in circuit competition (Tournament of Bands, Cavalcade of Bands, and OMEA.)

The goal of EDS Marching Productions is to provide a quality, contemporary product that allows bands of all sizes, budgets, and ability levels to be successful. Pricing is based upon your band size. If you aren’t interested in competitive design, discounts are available for those looking for simple to teach, “entertain the audience” shows. Feel free to let us know if you have specific needs.
