The 35th Kansas Army National Guard band, about 60 members strong, draws students and professionals from teachers to electricians. Led by Chief Warrant Officer Stephen Patterson, it rehearses one weekend a month, performs regularly, and aims to fund its activities through concerts and CDs. Members like Daniel Bergman and Kelsie Lange joined for college money and musical opportunity, while Patterson stresses musical competence over background. Budgets limit extra weekends, but performances span marches, patriotic pieces, and jazz, with tours including Baldwin City where a veterans tribute will be featured.
