Jeff Hurr PropDesign $1000 off
$500$1000 Discount on Prop Designs by the infamous Jeff Hurr!!
$1000 Coupon for discount on a Jeff Hurr original prop for your next WGI production.
This discount will be honored during DCI or Marching Band production season as well.
This master of building, sculpture, and prop making has created some of the most iconic WGI props over the years including props for:
- Pride of Cincinnati
- Bluecoats
- Carmel H.S.
- Center Grove H.S.
- WGI Sculpture at World Championships
Jeff and his assistant, Chris, make up the team that creates many of the incredible props that have dazzled WGI crowds for years.
Jeffrey Hurr, based in Garner, North Carolina, is a designer, craftsman, and artist. After attending NCSU School of Design in the 1970's, he began his first career and passion by building things with wood, including houses, cabinets, and furniture-this was the craftsmanship period in which skills and a deep appreciation of fine workmanship were developed.
In 1988 he followed another passion (this time metalworking) and produced decorative ironwork for companies along the Eastern Seaboard spanning a period of twelve years. One of the benefits of this time frame was that Jeff learned to operate his business with four employees, gaining management skills and an understanding of the value of collaborating with others. During this time the focus was on techniques of fabrication, welding, and painting while producing steel plant stands and tables. The transition to working with metal was an easy one, as all that changed were the tools and materials being used-the attention to detail remained the same.
Since the year 2000 Jeff has returned to a one-man-shop status, focusing primarily on custom metal projects, including gates, railings, trade show displays, furniture, and show props for marching bands, winter guards, and drum corps nationwide. This was the designer period, lasting over a decade.
Today Jeff continues toward a more expressive phase of his career by working mostly with a variety of metals, and when not producing props, he will be found in his Garner shop creating large-scale, nature-inspired, and kinetic sculpture as well as a wide range of other artistic products. Going forward, Jeff's attention is moving more and more toward the artistic side of things, while still refining his craftsmanship and design virtues.

Seavine Cymbal Bundles
$705 "Cymbal Bundles" From Seavine
includes :
- 5 pairs of The Cymbal Gloves,
- 5 pairs of Cymbal Pads, and
- 5 pairs of Cymbal Straps.
Seavine strives to support the marching cymbal and hornline community within the marching arts. Through The Cymbal Scholarship, they have given away over $26,000 to both WGI and DCI cymbal players to help offset their membership fees. You can learn more about Seavine and their products at www.seavine.co!
The Cymbal Gloves
The Cymbal Gloves provide both protection as well as utility. A person playing hand cymbals experiences certain levels of physical pain as well as surface level injuries that are common for performers. Our high performance cymbal gloves provide another layer of "skin" for the player which helps prevent abrasions and swelling from the cymbal straps and the cymbals themselves. The Cymbal Gloves also help to reduce friction at the wrist and forearm without compromising the look of the player within the ensemble. In short, The Cymbal Gloves help cymbal players maximize their performance, while simultaneously maximizing their ability and preventing injuries.
Cymbal Pads
Seavine Cymbal Pads are made out of 100% recycled materials. They help reduce friction between a performer's hand and the cymbal while moving, flipping, and playing. Not only does it serve function, but it can also add color and flair to your cymbals and playing.
Cymbal Straps
Seavine Cymbal Straps are made of a high quality nylon webbing. Our straps are machine cut, burned, and finished to perfection. Paired with our Cymbal Gloves, Seavine Cymbal Straps are the best combination to reduce friction from your strap to your cymbal sleeve to your skin when executing flips and release and reloads.
