Greetings, my name is Mr. Darwin Lewis. I am the  Director of Bands at Thurgood Marshall High School. I am starting year 5 here at Thurgood Marshall HS. I am very excited about the new school year and the unlimited opportunities that I want to afford your children. I'm a proud graduate of Texas Southern University! While there, I was a member of the famous Ocean of Soul, Wind Ensemble, and Pecurssion Ensemble. I am currently studying for a Masters in Music Education at Adams State University in Colorado. I am a proud member of Kappa Kappa Psi National Honorary Band Fraternity and Kappa Alpha Psi Fraternity, Inc.

My expectations are extremely high this year for this program. The Thurgood Marshall Band aka Marching Stampede will be a completely comprehensive program consisting of Marching, Concert, and Jazz Bands as well as small chamber ensembles, percussion ensembles, pep band and achieve. The goals that the students, staff and I will set can be achieved through rigorous hard work. With your support and patience, we will rise to the top in no time.

Looking forward to a great 2023-2024 school year.
