Blake Fowler, Director of Bands, Chapin High School, SC“I am proud to say I have been working with MBW since the beginning of my teaching career and every year I am impressed! Joshua Hinkel’s distinctive style is one that would suit the needs of any marching band. Josh’s music offers every single student on the field an opportunity to be challenged at the appropriate level. He also has the insight to know exactly when a show needs to be high intensity and when it needs to be relaxed and beautiful. Aaron Railey provides a percussion score that is fresh and exciting, and can offer appropriate challenges to even the most diverse ensemble. Josh and Aaron make a great team and know how to make you feel like part of the MBW family.”
Justin Ward, Director of Bands, Pelham High School, AL“I have had the pleasure of working with MBW and Joshua V. Hinkel in a creative capacity for the past nine years. They are without a doubt on the cutting edge of marching band music design. Every year they deliver what our design staff requests as well as a fresh creative twist that sets our marching program above the competition. Through the use of carefully designed impact points, sound writing that showcases all areas of our band, and orchestration that makes any ensemble seem larger we have a product that is unparalleled!”
Mark Mendez, Director of Bands, Aynor High School, SC“For the past 10 years I have been a customer of MBW’s marching band arrangements. The arrangements have been instrumental in building our award winning competitive marching band program. The arrangements are written for maximum effectiveness with impact points that allow your drill writer to easily design a visual program. I have never been disappointed in their music. Do yourself and your band a favor and get your next show from Marching BandWorks.”
