Outreach


Every year the University of Pennsylvania Band provides opportunities for youth across the Greater Philadelphia Region to experience fun and memorable performance opportunities found no where else, with 3-4 free day-long band day events and a week-long summer music camp offered every academic year.

Our Mission is to provide world-class instrumental music performance opportunities and enrichment that rewards, enrichs, and inspires youth, in the spirit of the University of Pennsylvania’s ongoing mission.

Commitment to Diversity, Inclusion, and Equity (diversity.upenn.edu):

As a flagbearer for the University of Pennsylvania, the Penn Band draws its strengths from a multitude of races, ethnicities, genders, sexual orientations, historical traditions, ages, religions, disabilities, veteran status, interests, perspectives, and socioeconomic backgrounds. The Penn Band is committed to reflecting these values in all aspects of its programming, including staffing, music and programming, inclusion, and access.
