Message from Dr. Isaiah Odajima
Dear Golden Wave Alumni,
Welcome back! I am thrilled to invite you to campus as we celebrate the 40th Anniversary of Golden Wave Alumni Band Weekend.
This milestone celebration is an opportunity to bring together Golden Wave alumni from every generation. Whether this will be your first Alumni Band Weekend or your twentieth, we'd love to have you back in Waco. There is nothing quite like reconnecting with old friends, making music together again, and celebrating the traditions that make the Golden Wave Band such a special part of the Baylor experience.
We are also excited to welcome back several former Golden Wave Band directors, including Michael Haithcock, who has already committed to joining us as this year marks the 50th anniversary of his arrival at Baylor. We look forward to welcoming directors representing multiple generations of Golden Wave history and giving alumni the opportunity to reconnect with those who played such an important role in their Baylor experience.
Our goal is simple: to make this the largest Golden Wave Alumni Band Weekend in our history. I hope you'll help us make that happen by joining us for this special celebration.
I look forward to seeing you back in Waco this September.
Sic 'Em,
Isaiah Odajima
Director, Golden Wave Band
