The Baldwin Pops Band sponsors an annual scholarship contest for high school seniors from Baldwin County who plan to continue their musical involvement in college. Six students from Fairhope, Robertsdale, and Spanish Fort High Schools are competing for scholarships and will perform with the band. The scholarship winner will be announced at the second concert.
Those students are:

Zander Westphal (alto saxophone) – Robertsdale High School
Brandon Wilson (percussion) – Robertsdale High School

When he passed away in April of 2003 at age 80, John Allen was the oldest member of the Baldwin Pops. He started playing tuba at the age of 74 in the 6th grade band at Fairhope Middle School. He progressed with his band class to the 7th then 8th grade bands and continued playing with that grade until his death. John Allen not only became a student of the tuba, he became an inspiration to his fellow students. When the Baldwin Pops Band formed in 1997, John Allen became a charter member. The scholarship fund was named in memory of him.
