BMK Arrangements
BMK Arrangements, LLC was started in 1998 by Brock Keiper in Cedar Rapids, IA. Over the last 20 years we have developed a reputation of providing exciting high quality arrangements that showcase young singers and instrumentalists. Our arrangements are designed with visuals in mind and contain many built-in moments for your design team to take advantage of. Since our background is in music education, we write charts that not only put your singers in appropriate ranges, but in ranges that will carry well while executing high energy choreography. Our instrumental charts are written in the same way and will both compliment your vocal performance and show off your band in the dance breaks. A BMK Arrangements show choir chart is designed to showcase your students and we strive to provide them with the framework to sound their best.
