Just in time for Homecoming Weekend, an illustrated talk by authors Thomas E. Range II and Lewis Lazarow will feature the Penn State Blue Band that has been performing for enthusiastic fans for over 120 years.

According to the book by the same name, “Since its founding in 1899, the Blue Band has become a beloved part of the history and tradition of Pennsylvania State University. Respected by students and alumni, faculty and administrators, the Blue Band is one of the most visible representations of the dedication, pride, and honor in the hearts of all who are associated with “Dear Old State.” From its humble beginnings as a six-member all-male drum and bugle corps to its current membership of over 300 instrumentalists, silks, and majorettes, the Blue Band has provided the soundtrack to the Penn State experience.”

Copies of Penn State Blue Band are available for purchase at the program, the Centre Furnace Mansion museum store, or online at CentreHistory.org.

This program is part of the Anne Hamilton Henszey Pyle and Kenneth B. Pyle Distinguished Author Series coordinated by Ford Risley, Chair.
