Fall is rapidly approaching! I hope you're all well and looking forward to an exciting season of Penn State Football, which naturally includes our beloved Blue Band. Big things are in the works with ABBA, including an early merchandise store to coincide with Homecoming (scheduled for September 26th!), more pep band opportunities, and we're excited to bring back our Virtual 5k in the spring. Hopefully you've also heard the great news that the Blue Band Practice Field is finally going to be a reality. As we learn more about fundraising and progress we will be sure to share.
Looking ahead to 2027, we will have seats opening up on the ABBA Board of Directors. If you're interested in joining us to help run ABBA, I'm happy to answer any questions you may have. We usually meet 4 times a year (primarily virtually) and work behind the scenes with other fantastic volunteers to make it all happen. This year during Board elections we will also be asking you all to review and approve some minor changes to our by-laws, so keep an eye out late in the year and thank you for your participation.
Finally, mark your calendars for Sunday, August 22, 2026 - that's the Blue Band "Friends and Family" day where there is an open practice that you can attend in person or watch via livestream. Follow us and the band on social media for details closer to that date!
