Penn State Blue Band

Found in 1899, the Blue Band has become a beloved part of the history and tradition of PSU.  Respected by students, alumni, faculty and administrators, the Blue Band is one of the most visible representations of dedication, pride, and honor in the hearts of all associated with "Dear Old State." It humbly began as a six-member all-male drum and bugle corps and now has a current membership of over 300 instrumentalists, silks, and majorettes.  The Blue Band has proudly served as Penn State's musical ambassador throughout Pennsylvania and across the United States.  Thomas E. Range II (1985-1988) and Lewis Lazarow (1989-1993) are Penn State and Blue Band alumni.
