Nothing “trumpets” the arrival of the fall season on Baker University’s campus better than the BU Marching Band Festival, now in its 18th year. Young musicians, proudly attired
in uniforms displaying their school colors, dazzle and delight spectators and adjudicators, alike, with their rousing performances executed in lockstep precision. Congratulations to each director, student musician, and color guard member for collaborating in countless hours of rehearsals to achieve creative success! We are thrilled to welcome you to Baker University and the Baldwin City community and encourage you to return as often as you like. Have fun and best wishes!

BU MUSIC FACULTY
18th ANNUAL BAKER MARCHING BAND FESTIVAL • 3
Since 1958, Baker music students have had all of the advantages an intimate small-college environment affords plus the performance opportunities of much larger schools. Baker music ensembles enjoy major international concert tours every three years. This ability to offer students a wide range of musical experiences makes Baker’s music program truly unique.
Baker is regarded as the top private college in Kansas. Located in Baldwin City in northeast Kansas, Baker was the first university in the state. It is ranked in the top 50 schools for economic value by The Economist, which is a testament to our excellent return on investment for students. Baker grads go on to earn the highest average salaries in the state compared to other Kansas grads, and Baker University is the highest-ranked private Kansas university by the U.S. News & World Report.
In addition to being an excellent experience, a Baker education is a great value. More than ninety-two percent of Baker students receive significant financial aid in the form of academic and participation scholarships, grants, and loans. All of these combine to make a Baker education affordable!
The National Association of Schools of Music accredits the music department’s Bachelor of Arts in Music and Bachelor of Music Education degree programs. The Bachelor of Arts degree emphasizes the study of music in a liberal arts context. This program of study is designed for students who want to double major or plan to pursue a career in musicology, composition, arts management, or the music
business. Students may choose to focus in performance, music composition, jazz studies, history & literature or interdisciplinary music theatre performance. The Bachelor of Music Education program leads to preK-12 licensure in instrumental, vocal, or general music. Closely aligned with the Baker University liberal arts philosophy, the BME program prepares exceptional music teachers who are able to involve critical inquiry and interdisciplinary relationships in successful music teaching. Baker also offers a minor in music
for students who wish to take courses in music theory and music history, study in applied
lessons, and participate in ensembles.
The Baker Music Department offers many performance
opportunities in ensembles for students to continue their musical pursuits after high school. All ensembles are open to music majors and nonmusic majors. Baker offers Symphonic Winds, Jazz Band, Wildcat Pride Athletic
Band, Wildcat Pride Drum Line, Orchestra, Concert Choir,
Chamber Singers, Dixieland Band, Percussion Ensemble, Woodwind
Quintet, Brass Ensemble and various other chamber ensembles.
The Baker University bands enjoy a rich history and tradition of excellence. In addition to the Baker Marching Band Festival, our band faculty host a jazz festival every November, a high school honor band in February, a prefestival clinic for bands and a trombone workshop. Our Jazz Band has performed with many world-renown artists such as jazz trombonist Harry Watters and jazz legend and Baker alumnus Kevin Mahogany!
Music scholarships are available and offered to music majors and nonmusic majors for their participation in Baker University music ensembles and activities. Music scholarships are based
on musical ability and potential shown through audition.

Benefit concerts were held in 2009 and 2010 featuring the Mason Brothers, Bobby Watson, JCCC “Midnight Express,” Shawnee Mission South Jazz Band, BAC Horn Dr. Combo, and other professional jazz musicians. Following the organization’s theme, “Putting music in the hands of children and a lifetime of love in their hearts,” M4JC’s work has benefited students in need throughout the metropolitan area and beyond.
