Bob began playing trumpet in elementary school, ultimately playing the acoustic & electric bass, tuba, trumpet and flugel horn. After graduation from Lanier High School of Macon in 1957 he attended the University of Georgia on a full double-bass and trumpet scholarship. While attending the university, Mr. Barnette was a member of the Symphonic Band, the University Symphony Orchestra, the University Jazz Band, the Redcoat Marching Band, and performed with the Faculty Quintet. During his time at the university, Mr. Barnette worked summers with several well known orchestras. At the young age of nineteen, he was hired by the world famous "Glenn Miller Orchestra", under the direction of Ray McKinley, touring the country.
Mr. Barnette has performed and directed concerts throughout the United States and Europe, including the internationally famous "Montreaux Jazz Festival", in Montreaux Switzerland.
In 1970, Mr. Barnette was selected to direct an American Youth All-Star Band Tour of Europe. The group played five concerts at European music festivals in Amsterdam, Munich, Lucerne, Dijon and Paris, representing the United States.
Mr. Barnette has played with many noteworthy groups during his career, including Yank Lawson and "The World's Greatest Jazz Band"; Paula Kelly and The Modernaires; The Buddy Morrow Orchestra; Ed Shaunessy, drummer of the NBC Tonight Show Orchestra; the Walt Disney Orchestra at Disney's Grand Floridian Hotel featuring trumpeter Davy Jones and drummer Pat Doyle; The Georgia Jazz Educator All-Star Big Band, and has performed with premier artists such as Ray Charles, Olivia Newton John, Freddie Cole, trumpeter Cecil Welch, Jimmy McKillip, Bob Greenhaw, Macon's own Chuck Levell, and Dexter and Otis Redding III.
Bob's played music with his best friend, Roger "Boudleaux" Allen for over 50 years and many other notable local talents including Dr. Edward Clark, Dr. Ken Trimmins, Dr. Monty Cole, Larry McClendon, Jim Larimer, Oscar Jackson, Neil Rigoli, KMo, Barry Darnell, Pat McCall, John Sweat, Dr. David Johnson, Chenney Gan, Maestro Adrian Gnam, Maestro Kei Harada, Rebecca Lanning, Laura Voss, Jim Blanton, Evan and Patti Jones and colleagues far too numerous to mention!
Bob served thirty years as bassist with his beloved Macon Symphony Orchestra, and directed the Macon Symphony Youth Orchestra for six seasons. He was a member of two professional wind ensembles, Atlanta's "Tara Winds ", and Gainesville, Georgia's "North Winds". He was privileged to be the bassist for the Georgia Big Band for many years. He also performed with the Civic Club orchestra for their annual shows on numerous occasions.
During his 30-year career, at Lanier High School, which was renamed Central High School, the Sugarbear Band was honored by Walt Disney World with a record 23 consecutive years of marching in the Magic Kingdom parade. He was presented a prized "Mouseker" by Disney World at his retirement. The band was also selected to perform for four U.S. Presidents, most notably in 1992 when, then President-elect, Bill Clinton, joined the band during a rally for Senator Wyche. The famous picture taken of Bill Clinton playing saxophone with the band was printed in newspapers world-wide and in Time Life books. They also played on several occasions for President and Mrs. Jimmy Carter.
As president of Georgia Association of Jazz Educators, Bob was involved in establishing the Georgia All-State Jazz Program. as well as The Macon State College Community Jazz Ensemble. He was honored by the Douglas Theater Jazz Legends Series in 2008 and by the Jazz Association of Macon in 2013 for Outstanding Service and Inspiration as a Jazz Educator and Band Director. In 1993, The Macon Arts Alliance honored Bob with their coveted Cultural Award.
Bob treasured musical opportunities that involved his own family members. He was always thrilled to play Dixieland style music with his brother, professional trombonist and band director, Earle Barnette. Bob's wife, Annette, was the featured vocalist with the Bob Barnette Jazz Band.
His niece, Pamela, was solo twirler with the original Lanier High School Sugar Bear Marching Band during Bob's early days as Band Director. When Lanier later became Central, his daughter, Leiza, marched with the Central High School Sugar Bear Band.
Bob was a deeply-spiritual, Christian man and lived his faith through music as well. He conducted the choir at Liberty United Methodist church from 1973 to 1993. He was a member of Forest Hills United Methodist Church for 38 years, a member of the Marshall's Ministry Sunday School Class and the Men's Prayer Group.
Mr. Barnette retired from the Bibb County Board of Education in 1995, after 30 years in public education. Both the Bibb County Commissioners and the Office of the Mayor of Macon issued proclamations in observance of Bob's extraordinary career at his retirement. Thereafter, he remained active throughout the country, serving as clinician, adjudicator, and soloist until his full retirement from performance in 2014.
Ever the consummate educator, Bob wished to help further the education of doctors and scientists in hopes of finding better treatments and an eventual cure for dementia diseases of all types. Toward that goal, Bob's brain has been donated to the Neurological Study at the Mayo Clinic in Jacksonville, Florida under the direction of his physician Dr. Ryan Uitti, Chair of the Neurology Department.
His family extends their gratitude to Dr. Jeremiah McClure and his staff at MCC Internal Medicine, Dr. Jayesh Patel and Carlyle Place, Cambridge Court Dementia Care Unit staff and the Harrington House Skilled Nursing Unit staff for the extraordinary care he received during this six-year journey.

I didn't know Mr. Barnette had gone to be with the Lord a few months ago and please accept our thoughts and prayers for you all. I lost my dad BULLET Rowland last April as well due to the same illness. It's a very difficult thing to go through and so hard at times. As a youngster I remember running with my dad and the football players from the locker room to the side line at Porter Stadium through the band music, that was special. As a member of the finest JROTC program in the country and a GOLDEN BOOT, it was an honor to here the band play the National Anthem at our parades and special events. My dad knew Bob very well and they were always staples either on the field, in the stands or on the side line. Please know you all are in our hearts. GO BIG ORANGE!

April 22, 2016

Isn't it funny how God always has a strategic plan in order. I believe all of us who was under his direction was blessed to have known him. The things he practiced and said it has been and still is inspirational to me. When I think of Mr. Barnette I think about how awesome of a musician, he was and how he wanted to see his students succeed. Many may consider this as being mean, I can recall him having me to stand up and look down the section or should I say look up the section of trumpet players. Then, In Front of the whole band he asks me, son are you going to always be the (tail ) of the group. You all can imagine how this made me feel, but I realize afterwards that he saw the potential in me. That year I came from last chair 3rd to 1st Chair first. From that point on Mr. Barnette has been one of the greatest mentor in my life. To the family, he was honored by many, but invited in by God. My deepest condolences Bobby Edwards.

I cannot express in words how much of an impact Mr. B was on the lives of so many students that attended Lanier/Central High School. I was a member of the choir and remember the times when the band and choir would have a concert, and the passion for music and to spread his love for music and to educate others to love and appreciate music as much as he did. The world is a better place because of Bob Barnette. RIP Mr. B.

Bob dedicated his life to family,teaching, and performing outstanding music. This passion required discipline and dedication. His life was fullfilled by being hired as music director at his almamater "LANIER", and his own creation the Sugarbear band. I appreciated our personal and family friendship as Bob was surely "one of a kind" and will be missed by many.
His main love was family especially Leiza and grandchildren,wife Annette,sugarbear band, macon symphony, golf,Lanier/Central High school, and his church. His passion for being the best was tested during State festival competition each year where he spent every hour of every day in preparation. where he developed a condition of unapproachable until the final goal of outstanding was reached. I warned faculty and students that during that period that he had "festivalitis" and he was not to be disturbed.
He was a super human being in so many ways and was also a close personal friend and confident about his personal life with me. I was his big brother in many ways. He loved my family and supported each of us.Martha, all of my family, and I will miss him.

Annette we have lost one of the greats of all time. I can see Bob in the back of the Ministry Center early on Sunday mornings listening to the praise band practice.
