Tim Hinton is an  Orlando-based composer and arranger writing for middle school, high school, and college concert and marching bands.  He was born in Atlanta, Georgia in 1960. Tim began playing the piano in 2nd grade and joined the band in 4th grade playing the French horn. Because of the inspiration of many excellent music teachers and band directors, he decided to become a band director himself. He received his Bachelor's degree in Music Education from the University of Tennessee, Knoxville, and his Masters from Georgia State University.   

During college Tim had the privilege of marching with the Phantom Regiment Drum and Bugle Corps of Rockford Illinois for three summers (1980-82). He also taught marching with the corps during the 1983 season, learning many tricks of drill writing and cleaning that still serve him well as a consultant. Tim is especially proud to have won the DCI Individual and Ensemble Competition on french horn in 1982, being the first person in DCI history to receive a perfect score of 100 in individual competition.

     Tim taught in the public schools for 10 years and developed a highly successful program at Dunwoody High School in Dunwoody, Georgia. While there his bands consistently received superior ratings in concert and marching performances and he is proud to have introduced his students to a great variety of quality music. His marching productions at Dunwoody H.S. were heralded for their creativity and originality. During those years with a relatively small band Tim learned many tricks of arranging to overcome weaknesses and showcase strengths. He firmly believes that any band can have a  very effective show under any circumstances.
