Thank You Seniors!

as read on Saturday, March 9th at the Palestra ("Senior Night")

At this time, we would like to recognize the graduating members of the Penn Band for their dedication and loyalty to Penn Athletics. Not only do they show up at every men's and women's home game, but they travel to virtually all of the away games as well. And they are more than just the band; they are fans, too. In a hostile Ivy gym, they are often the loudest and most vocal show of support.

In supporting Penn and Penn Athletics, some of these students have logged more miles than some Heads of State - bus trips all over the North East to all of the Ivies, plus trips to such venues as Cleveland OH, Dallas TX, and Lexington KY to cheer on the men's Ivy Championship basketball teams in the NCAA tournaments.

For the many hours on buses, for all the nights in sleeping bags in some foreign lounge, and for all their time and dedication, we salute your following Penn Band Senior Starters:
