The Bauds are an eight-voice a cappella group comprised entirely of Microsoft employees and alumni. Driven by their love of both music and technology, The Bauds have a decorated history of competing in vocal competitions such as National Harmony Sweepstakes (third place in 2019), and Pacific Regional Northwest Harmony Sweepstakes, in which they have won three times, earned Audience Favorite five times, and were awarded Best Original Arrangement three times.

The Bauds have opened for other vocal groups like Take 6 and The Manhattan Transfer, and their albums can be found (under The Baudboys) on most music streaming platforms.
