There are no group of students more dedicated and school spirited today on the Penn campus than the members of the Penn Band. 80-100 members strong on average, the Band can be found storming around campus and the Northeast from the last few days of summer break thru Alumni Day in May. Win or lose, the members of the group are also diehard fans of the Athletic teams they support through performance. More often that not, the members can be heard vocally leading the crowd in chants and cheers at Athletic events! Also, the Band has an unbelievably high rapport with the members of our Athletics teams! Members of the Penn Band are not here because of stipends, academic credits, or gym requirements - they do what they do because they love Penn.

FOOTBALL

Football: The Penn Band attends every football game year in and year out. At home, the Quakers play on historic Franklin Field, one of the oldest football stadiums in the country, next to Harvard and Tennessee. Over the past 9 years, the Quakers hold a 76-22 record in Div I-AA, with 5 Ivy championships. Athletic achievements aside, it is quite a sight to see 15,000 fans at Franklin field sing 'The Red and the Blue," nonetheless perform on the astroturf of Franklin Field!

BASKETBALL

Starting from late November, the Penn Band attends most all of the games played by the Men's Basketball team, as well as all home Women's Basketball games. At home, the Quakers play in one of the most historic arenas in college basketball, The Palestra.  Both the Men's and Women's have made numerous appearances over the past decade. Year after year, the teams engage in a tough non-conference schedule, including national powers like Syracuse, Wisconsin, Duke, North Carolina, and the Big Five Schools, to name a few.  During the past decade, the Band traveled to locations such as Seattle, Winston-Salem, Boston, Cleveland, Pittsburgh, Baltimore, Lubbock, Bridgeport, Dallas, and Long Island to root the Quakers on in the NCAA tournament.
