If You've Got Musical Talent, Penn Needs You Next Week!

Monday, March 2, 2009

I just got this message from the Penn Band and wanted to pass it along to anyone (undergrad or alum) who wants to lend their spirit and musical (instrument) talent to the big Penn vs. Princeton game next week:

"On Tuesday 3/10 there is the Penn Princeton Home games in the Palestra.

Since it is during Penn’s Spring Break (WHY, Lord, WHY!?!?!) – we need help from anyone who is NOT going on Spring Break (alumni included) who still remember how to play an instrument.

If you fit this category and can come and play, please
a) Email board@pennband.net and then
b) Respond to Greer’s e-vite when he sends it to you!

Thanks, the Princeton Band is coming, let’s not allow them to take over the Palestra!!!!"

And check out the video above which will explain the history behind our whole rivalry with Princeton!

Penn sets Guiness Record: Who says size doesn't matter?

Wednesday, October 24, 2007

It's 15 feet 9 inches long and Penn just set a guiness book record that belonged once to Harvard.

You've got to click here to find out what it is!

On October 14, 2006 the Harvard University set a new world record for the largest conductor's baton with a baton nearly 12 feet in length.

On October 20, 2007, the Penn band shattered that record with an even bigger baton!

Take that Harvard.
