Mrs. Katherine M.C. Reeves is the founder and drill designer for Box 5 Design.

Reeves began her formal study of drill design as a student at Ithaca College with Dr. Keith Kaiser. Upon graduation from college, she continued to study drill design/visual instruction while interning with the Cavaliers Drum and Bugle Corps. Prior to this formal study, Reeves marched the drill of Mike Gaines as a high school student (drill designer for the Cavaliers among many others) and Jeff Sacktig as a Cadet in 2000 where the corps earned a DCI World Championship title. She continues her development as a designer by attending seminars, writing, and gathering feedback from designers such as Greg Bimm (Marion Catholic), Bob Buckner (Spirit of JSU among others), and John Howell (visual judge for BOA). Reeves also attends Bands of America Nationals and other marching shows to view other designer's ideas and to keep the inspiration current.

As a lead soprano for the prestigious and highly selective drum and bugle corps The Cadets, Mrs. Reeves won a DCI World Championship in the year 2000. She was also trumpet section leader of her BOA champion high school band, the Kiski Area High School Marching Band.

Reeves was the head visual instructor for Williamsport Area High School from 2000-2002, and from 2004 until 2008, she was the drill designer, visual caption head, and high brass instructor for the Colonial Forge Sound and Guard. Her design and teaching helped lead Forge to a superior rating and Virginia Honor Band status every single year she was on staff. She is also the former brass caption head of the drum and bugle corps Teal Sound, helping to move them from Division III to Division I in DCI, and was an intern with the corps that holds the record for the most world championships, The Cavaliers. As an accomplished private instructor, both the principal and coprincipal trumpets in past Virginia All State bands have been from Mrs. Reeves' studio.
