“Music can change the world”-Beethoven.
THE BAND
The Baldwin Pops was cofounded in May 1997 by local band directors, Joe Riemer and Steve Sims; local musicians, Regina Buch and Tom Robinson, and a former Director of Continuing Education at Faulkner State Community College, Borden Morrow. The Baldwin Pops has been home to local musicians of all ages. Musical abilities range from those becoming acquainted with their instruments after many years of not playing to local band directors, music teachers, and professional musicians. All members share the enjoyment of playing their instruments, love of good music, and the desire to perform for appreciative audiences. Programs encompass a variety of genres, including classical, broadway, big band, dixieland, jazz, and marches.
​
