"See What You Hear, Hear What You See," said by Tom Kelly, a creator
of MAPS (Mid Atlantic Percussion Society) and the original director of the nationally
acclaimed and consistent WGI World Class Finalist of the 1990's, The North Penn
Indoor Percussion Ensemble; that above expression was used frequently to describe
Steve Kulp's, (Owner of KMD, Inc.) writing style.

"At S&S ELITE, we search for staff writers who not only demonstrate excellence in
writing talent and capability, but professionalism in communication between he and
the band directors throughout the entire process of show design.
Steve Kulp has excelled in this role as an S&S ELITE Independant Contractor and we
are very proud to have him on our writing staff. Whether responding to emails or
delivering show assignments, his timeliness is rock solid. With respect to quality
of workmanship, Rachelle and I never have to worry about what Steve will be sending
us at the end of an assignment - he is very reliable and easy to work with if
adjustments have to be made. Steve is up to date on his knowledge of technology in
the programs he uses and is happily available to assist if we (or anybody on our staff)
has any questions as technology grows. In a single word, Steve Kulp is "Dependable".
Please consider Steve Kulp a viable candidate for any position you may have for him.
Professionally,
Scott Rankin
Owner, S&S ELITE Custom Marching Services

"After working with Steve for only a short time, it was obvious that he was extremely
knowledgeable in all areas of design. Both his drill and conceptual ideas are top
notch. He has helped to elevate our program to a new status. I look forward to
many more years of greatness with him!"

To Whom It May Concern:
I have known Steve Kulp for about three years as a valued member of the Jersey Surf's
creative design staff. As I have come to know him, I have seen a trustworthy,
enthusiastic, energetic, sincere and thoughtful prfessional who has, on many
occasions, put the good of our organization ahead of his own personal agenda. His
lack of selfishness and willingness to become involved above and beyond the required
level of participation, has distinguished Steve as a person who can be depended upon
in challenging situations, and as an individual who leads by example.
Through his creativity, compassion for his students, his attention to detail and work
ethic, Steve truly embodies the spirit of the drum & bugle corps activity and that of
the entire Jersey Surf organization.
In summary, the four words that best characterize Steve Kulp are diligence,
conscientionness, professionalism and thoughfulness. I am very proud to know
him, happy to enjoy an ongoing professional collaboration with him, and I am very
pleased to have this opportunity to give him my highest personal recommendation.
Very truly yours,

"Steve's drill designs are always top notch!" For marching bands of a small to medium
size, drill staging is probably the most important element in achieving musical success
on the field. Steve always has the right instruments in the right spots! No matter
the difficulty level you have Steve write for your band, his drill designs always flow
with the mood of the music. We have achieved great success in competitions over the
last few years. Our "Music" scores and "General Effect Visual" scores have
improved every year and I know that is directly related to the Steve's drill
design. On top of all that, Steve is always punctual in delivery of the drill, even when
I have not been so punctual on my end! He does not abandon you once the drill is
delivered; he consistently follows up to help with any clarifications or questions you
may have. I have recommended Steve to several of my colleagues, and I do not
hesitate to recommend his great work to you!"

To Whom It May Concern:
I would like this letter to serve as a support letter of recommendation for Mr. Steve
Kulp. It is a pleasure and a privilege to share my thoughts about Steve.
This entire letter could be devoted to Mr. Kulp's list of accomplishemnts but that
is all a matter of record and can be reviewed by checking his file. It would seem
more appropriate to bring to light some of the personal observations about Steve and
his ability to work with others, based on the past seven years of a professional
relationship with Steve. Not only is he an extraordinarily dedicated individual, but he
also has the rare ability to develop genuine relationships with the people he works
with. Steve always has gone above and beyond the call of duty, providing
everyone an opportunity to attain success. In addition, his Field Show Design
work is very thought out and displays a true level of excellence.
Mr. Kulp is one of the most sincere and honest subcontractors I have employed.
The proof of this lies in the success he has had in the work that has been produced.
It is without reservation that I recommend Mr. Kulp. Let me assure you, Steve will
bring a dedicated working attitude and level of excellence to the entire environment
of any organization. Please do not hesitate to call if I can be of any further help in
this endeavor.
