For nearly ninety years, the Baylor Choral Program has established a long tradition of leadership in choral music across the nation, in ten foreign countries, and in every major concert venue in the United States. Its ensembles have been selected for performance at major state, regional, and national conferences. Since the formation of the School of Music in 1921, the Choral Department has been under the leadership of only three Directors of Choral Activities: Euell Porter (1955-1982), Dr. Hugh Sanders (1984-1993), and Dr. Donald Bailey (1993-2008). Prior to Porter's appointment, choral ensembles were directed by various members of the music faculty.

Today, the tradition is upheld by the current Choral Faculty that includes Dr. Loyd Hawthorne, Mr. David Guess, Dr. Randall Bradley, Dr. Michele Henry, and Dr. Leta Horan.
