Benjamin Baertschy

Percussion Coordinator
Music

Baertschy began drumming around age 4. Growing up in a family of drummers, there were always drums around the house that cultivated passion for percussion. By age 12, Baertschy marched his first season of Drum and Bugle Corps. His nine seasons of Drum Corps included marching with the Pioneer in Milwaukee, Phantom Regiment in Rockford, Illinois and the Cadets, then of Bergen County, New Jersey.

Baertschy has marched with the University of Louisiana at Lafayette Marching Band and Indoor Drumline, and competed in Drum Corps International Individual and Ensemble and Percussive Arts Society International Convention solo competitions on tenors. He has taught several high school and university drumlines and currently is a performer and arranger for the Green Bay Packers Tundraline. Baertschy is extremely excited to bring his energy, passion and knowledge of marching percussion to the Titan Thunder Marching Band and put his stamp on creating the best University drum line in the Midwest.
