WMSE’s on-air staff is made up of dedicated community volunteers who specialize in the genre that is featured on their respective programs. WMSE broadcasts from the downtown campus of the Milwaukee School of Engineering in Milwaukee, Wisconsin.

Funding for WMSE Radio is provided by the WMSE listening community through membership contributions and by area businesses through program underwriting. 91.7 FM WMSE is financially independent of the Milwaukee School of Engineering. MISSION To entertain and educate members of our community by providing a wide selection of musical programming that they cannot readily hear elsewhere. To enhance the image of and bring tangible value to MSOE, the station’s parent. To be an effective and creative public outlet for local artists who would otherwise receive little or no broadcast exposurein our community. To support and enhance the Milwaukee community.

VISION To energize, empower and reward all station listeners, donors, volunteers, staff, MSOE representatives and musicians, to a level of “community, trust and privilege.” To increase WMSE’s positive effect on our community by providing educational opportunities for Milwaukee’s youth. To champion Milwaukee as a vital creator of culture by bringing WMSE to a national and international audience, establishing Milwaukee and WMSE as important musical destinations and bringing widespread positive exposure to MSOE. MESSAGE FROM STATION MANAGER TOM CRAWFORD This year, WMSE celebrates 35 phenomenal years of bringing Milwaukee the best to offer in music, community involvement, and commitment to an important mission In our 2015-2016 fiscal year, WMSE rolled out a large lineup of events that all led up to the 35th anniversary of the station:

WMSE held the 2nd annual Big Band Grandstand with Dewey Gill, headlined by Louis Prima Jr. and the Witnesses. While raising money for the digitalization of our collection, WMSE was able to highlight the new age of jazz through the Milwaukee Youth Symphony Orchestra jazz band.

WMSE launched a hot sauce, “Salsa de los Muertos” made for us by our supporters.

WMSE presented the 6th annual Backyard BBQ with the best local and national acts in Cathedral Square to 4,000 loyal fans, with headliners JD McPherson and the Dirty Bourbon River Show.

WMSE hosted the most successful Rockabilly Chili Fundraiser WMSE has ever had with nearly 4,000 attendees and over $70,000 raised.

Louis Prima Jr. and the Witnesses blowing the crowd away at the 2nd Annual Big Band Grandstand Gala and Silent Auction WMSE held our first ever Record Ruckus, bringing together Milwaukee record labels and music collectors alike to browse and purchase for their collections.

WMSE kept the party going with exciting events throughout the entire year dedicated to our 35th anniversary. This included the Rock N Roll Bowl, the Dance Retrospective, an Evening of Milwaukee Punk (including the reunion of The Benjamins!) and the Blues show featuring the R&B Cadets and the Siegel-Schwall Band on March 26 that the historic Turner Hall Ballroom.

Over these past 35 years, WMSE has grown only because of the passion from its loyal members, donors, volunteers, and staff. The love and support that continues to be shown throughout our 35th anniversary proves just how integral WMSE has become to Milwaukee. WMSE would not be where it is 35 years after first going live on the air, if it wasn’t for the commitment our supporters show this station. WMSE cannot thank you enough for making these last 35 years possible and launching the station into a promising future. To all our loyal listeners and supporters, WMSE thanks you from the bottom of our hearts for everything you do to help this station meet milestones and continue to make WMSE your source for Milwaukee music. Let’s make next year even better than the last!

Thank you! Sincerely,

Tom Crawford WMSE Station Manager

WMSE DJs Dietrich (Saturday Morning Car Tunes) and Jonny Z (The Chicken Shack) spinning all the music at the 14th Annual Rockabilly Chili Fundraiser WMSE in the Community We have grown by being the best partner with our community. WMSE collaborated with MSOE Servant Leadership to bring Milwaukee Empty Bowls, an event to combat hunger in our community, to the campus of MSOE. This year, we partnered with the Milwaukee Fire Department so that a portion of the proceeds from the Rockabilly Chili Fundraiser went towards the MFD’s Coats for Kids program. Our strong partnership with Milwaukee Film is entering its 8th year, and we will once again sponsor the Sound Visions Documentary Series at the Milwaukee Film Festival. Our partnership with Artists Working in Education created a more family-friendly Rockabilly Chili Fundraiser that earned record breaking revenue. This year, for the Big Band Grandstand Gala and Silent Auction with Dewey Gill, we collaborated with the Milwaukee Youth Symphony Orchestra to have a band of their students open the evening of music and celebration of jazz in the community. Over 2,300 pounds (that’s more than a ton!) of food was donated to the Hunger Task Force at the Rockabilly Chili Fundraiser.

WMSE fans show their support in the community! Record Ruckus On August 2, WMSE held the first ever Record Ruckus. This local label showcase and collector show brought several Milwaukee record labels together with many record, instrument, and music collectors and dealers from across the Midwest. Accompanied by live performances from well-known Milwaukee artists, some rare and hard-to-find vinyl, cd, gear, and art were all available for purchase.

BACKYARD BBQ The WMSE Backyard BBQ is our way of saying ‘thank you’ to the community that supports us year-round. During this annual event, we saw some of the best local and national acts at Cathedral Square in a one-of-a-kind celebration of music. Held during welcome week for MSOE students, Backyard BBQ closed out summer with nearly 4,000 loyal fans in our backyard. The day-long event included food from a half dozen local popular restaurants and performances by Jim Liban & the Joel Paterson Trio, Devil Met Contention, Pill Hill, Dirty Bourbon River Show and JD McPherson!

Local band, Devil Met Contention, playing their unique brand of Americana at the Backyard BBQ BIG BAND GRANDSTAND On Sunday, Nov. 29th, WMSE returned to the Turner Hall Ballroom to present the 2nd Annual Big Band Grandstand Gala and Silent Auction with Dewey Gill Presented by Jenny and Bob Hillis, in honor of Bob and Genie Friedman.

Louis Prima Jr. and the Witnesses headlined the event; taking jazz fans on a journey through 1920s New Orleans, 1940s Swing, and 1950s Vegas. Louis Prima Jr., known as “The Crown Of Swing”, was the perfect inspiration for this year’s Grandstand. In addition to the Witnesses’ two sets, the Milwaukee Youth Symphony Orchestra’s jazz band, Rhumba, opened this incredible night. Rhumba is one of the 11 latin jazz combos in the MYSO Jazz Studies Program and is made up of middle and high school students from the greater Milwaukee area, performing jazz standards using the many different styles and rhythms of Latin American and Africa.

This gala and silent auction was held to raise money for the upkeep and digitization of the WMSE jazz library, which streams 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. WMSE’s library has over has over 10,000 pieces and includes: CDs, 33s, 45s and 78s. It is WMSE’s mission to keep jazz alive in the Milwaukee market and available online around the world. This grand event has taken place each fall since 2014 to preserve and celebrate the music on The Sunday Big Band Show with Dewey Gill and WMSE’s weekly jazz programs.

The Milwaukee Youth Symphony Orchestra opened the Big Band Grandstand, in celebration of big band jazz in Milwaukee This year we also began phase two of our jazz digitization project to greatly increase the amount of music found on our up-and-running jazz stream. We now have thousands of hours of rare jazz that can be accessed worldwide at wmse.org/ jazzstream

Thank you for joining us for an evening of celebration and preservation of the unforgettable era of big band jazz with classic cocktails from Bittercube, food from Braise and Eat Cake!, music, a silent auction and plenty of dancing!

We look forward to continuing to this annual celebration for the Big Band Grandstand Gala and Silent Auction in December 2016! WMSE is honored to be able to provide the best in big band and jazz music on the radio dial and online. Thanks for coming out and we look forward to seeing you in December for our flagship fundraiser!

The Hunger Task Force collection during this event raised 2,300 lbs of nonperishable food to help end hunger in the greater Milwaukee area! The arts and crafts kids area was provided by our good friends at Artist Working in Education. Our annual chili pepper races were held throughout the day at the Kern Center’s running track. All of which made for a great day, raising over $71,000 toward supporting the independent music programming on WMSE.

Closing out the night, The Benjamins will played The Art of Disappointment from start to finish, in honor of the 15th anniversary of their classic album.

WMSE Underwriting Director, Ryan Aschebrook, with his daughter, Cora, at the 14th Annual Rockabilly Chili Fundraiser local/live Every Tuesday, WMSE welcomes a Milwaukee-area artist into the Bob and Genie Friedman Live Performance Studio to perform a full set live on the airwaves from 6 to 7 p.m. with hosts Erin Wolf, WMSE’s Music Director, and Cal Roach, WMSE DJ and Milwaukee music writer, for our long-running Local/Live program. Wolf and Roach collaborate to book, curate, feature, and converse with musicians, groups, and bands primarily from the Milwaukee area (and all from Wisconsin) with the intent to feature the new and up-and-coming, alongside seasoned veterans. WMSE engineer Billy Cicerelli is at the helm of each weekly band performance, creating an unbelievable live sound. This year we were also able to host several Local/Live performances and interviews live from Club Garibaldi’s so audience members could join in on the fun! We saw a great variety of bands come into WMSE’s studio and Club Garibaldi’s, including Direct Hit!, Chris Rosenau, Ruth B8r Ginsburg, Dr. Shrinker, and many more!

3,552 Pieces of Music added to library 47,243 Live stream listens REVENUE AND EXPENSES Our results in this past fiscal year are proof that our strategy and stewardship of your dollars is working. With individual and business donations higher than they’ve ever been in the station’s 35-year history, WMSE’s income exceeded $500,000 for The second year in a row with a 6% increasee from last year. The growing popularity of the Sound Citizen sustaining membership program has reduced the need for on-air Membership Drives, so that DJs can continue to play even more music all year round. This spring, we ended our on-air drive a full 24 hours early because of the dedication of listeners and the growth of Sound Citizen sustaining memberships. Projected revenue from monthly giving in FY 2015-16 is set to surpass $100,000! Our annual events, including the Rockabilly Chili Fundraiser, continue to set revenue records for WMSE. REVENUE
