The Golden Wave bands together to prepare for the 2024 season

For most fans of the green and gold, football season starts when hundreds of jersey-clad freshmen rush the field to fill “That Good Old Baylor Line.” For members of the Golden Wave Band, however, it starts in the sweltering August heat across from the Baylor Science Building a week before classes begin.

For band leadership, it starts even earlier than that.

“It starts right when the year ends. As soon as the last game ends, it’s ‘what’s next,'” said San Antonio senior recruiting chair Nicholaus Karavantos-Schnur. Karavantos-Schnur also serves as a piccolo squad leader and a senior representative for the largest graduating class in recent history.
