Lia Baker, a student from Inverness, Illinois, has joined the University of Wisconsin-Whitewater Warhawk Marching Band for the 2025-26 academic year. Baker is currently studying psychology at UW-Whitewater and participates in the colorguard section of the marching band.
The Warhawk Marching Band plays at all regular season home football games and other selected campus and community events during the fall semester. Each October, UW-Whitewater hosts the Wisconsin School Music Association (WSMA) State Marching Band Championships.
In 2023, the band performed during halftime at a Green Bay Packers game at Lambeau Field. The university's musical ensembles have also played in well-known venues such as Carnegie Hall in New York City, Symphony Center in Chicago, and locations in Germany, Poland, and England.
The Warhawk Marching Band is directed by Glenn "Doc" Hayes, professor of music and director of bands since 1987. Hayes is the second person to be inducted into the WSMA Marching Band Hall of Fame. Tobie Wilkinson, senior lecturer of music, leads the percussion studio and serves as associate director of the marching band.
