Sad news in the music world today....

Thoughts and prayers go out to the family of Bruce Dinkins who passed away today. Dinkins was the head band director at James Bowie HS in Austin, Texas and held the same position at Irmo HS in Columbia, South Carolina for years before joining Bowie.

 

RIP Bruce. You always produced great sounding marching bands.

 

I am not affiliated with the Bowie Band but they have been one of my favorite and most anticipated bands every year since 2003. Bruce led Bowie to 4 5a State Marching Band Finals and 2 Grand National Finals in the last 7 years. Bowie has been one of the best bands in the state and nation since he has took over and he will be missed by many.

 

Prayers go out to the entire Bowie Band Family.

So sad and such a shock! All of us at Dripping Springs would like to say how sorry we are to hear this news. We have admired Bowies band program for a very long time, you truly are a class act.

As a former Bowie parent, we were really shocked and saddened when we heard. He will be truly missed. He taught our children to work hard and believe in what they do.

RIP Mr. Dinkins

 

He was a great teacher. I had the pleasure of being his students a couple of summers at SSMF. My thoughts go out to his family, band students, and everyone else who knew him.

 

 

Any word yet on who will be replacing him as head director?

According to the Bowie band website, Kim Shuttleworth is the new band director.
