Very recently I was referred to Justin Brewer when I found myself in need of a Bass
Drum/Auxiliary Percussion Field Rack, and I needed it fast. I hit a number of dead ends before
learning about Justin’s work. The man literally built us a beautiful Field Rack in 3 days, just in
time to give my percussion kids a chance to rehearse with it before our first competition this
season. He is clearly a skilled and knowledgeable builder, and a fantastic communicator. He
texted me pictures of the rack at every stage of development and kept me updated of his
progress while under construction. He is very professional and accommodating. My Percussion
Tech, Band Boosters, Percussion kids, and I are very happy with Justin’s product and service!
I highly recommend Justin Brewer to meet your equipment needs! Definitely 5 Stars!!!!!

Back in May, I decided to take a step forward in our program and incorporate a more advanced electronics set up. I tried to purchase a synth cart from a few vendors and hit dead ends with inventory. Someone turned me towards Justin Brewer at MGB Designs. Justin was a great help in putting together a plan for exactly what my program needed. He worked with me on our needs and made sure the design would fit our set up and budget. He kept us updated on the build through the Summer, hit our timeline as promised and has kept in touch to make sure everything was as we needed. We used the cart this past Fall and it’s been the best money spent for my program in many years. Once we got the build started, Justin was also helpful in helping us build out the cart with the right components and electronics. He answered questions and gave great suggestions (again within our budget) to make sure our kids and program was able to utilize the cart to its best use. I can’t recommend MGB enough. When its time, I’ll be a repeat customer! High quality build with amazing service.

Now that it’s seen a season of use, I highly recommend hitting up Justin Brewer for any of your marching cart needs! Very high quality construction and quick turnaround! I contacted him over the summer for an urgent need for an aux rack and he knocked on out in about 2 weeks! Folds up for easy storage. All no flat casters. Fully powder coated! He also does synth and mixer carts as well as customizable speaker carts! I’ll be reaching out to him again in the future as our program continues to grow!
