Testimonials & Praise for Tim Hinton’s Book : “Marching Band: A Field Guide”

At last!  Tim Hinton puts all the information you really want to know, including insider secrets, in one, convenient book.  The perfect one-stop musical/visual reference for novice and “expert” alike!
–Michael Cesario, renowned visual designer and consultant

Finally…a guide for band directors both experienced and new to the profession that will provide a “process” for design, implementation, and teaching as it relates to the marching band activity.  I highly recommend this book to you and know that it will bring not only you, but your students a renewed approach and philosophy to your marching band program.  “Bravo Tim!”
–David Starnes, former director of bands at Western Carolina University and Kennesaw Mountain HS

Tim puts down in clear terms what needs to be looked at, to start your band towards success.  His openness to disclose common sense principles is refreshing and explained with great detail.
–Kevin Schuessler, director of bands at Center Grove High School

This text will prove in the years to come to be a major addition to a band director’s knowledge of the marching band idiom.  Simply a must for the young and aspiring director.
–Bruce Dinkins, renowned and greatly missed director who gave Tim his first arranging job!

I have worked with Tim Hinton on many projects.  His planning, creativity, and methods work and are always successful.  This is one resource that band directors should not be without.
