Sure-Fire Strategies for Finding the Band in Club Penguin

By Steve Archer

The Club Penguin Band is a band made up of four penguins that appear sometimes in the game. They occassionally show up to play at special events and parties, such as the Luau Party or St. Patrick's Day Party. They also played on stage at the 2008 Music Jam event and are scheduled to play again at the 2009 Music Jame. At the Music Jam event, if you are lucky enough to meet them backstage during their breaks, you can click on them to get a background featuring the band for your player card.

The Club Penguin Band includes four members at present. The members are G. Billy (dark blue penguin who plays drums and flute), Petey K (green penguin who plays accordion and piano), Stompin' Bob (red penguin who plays stand-up bass/cello) and Franky (yellow penguin who plays acoustic guitar). They always appear together as a group, and are normally playing music on stage. They also have appeared numerous times in the game, beginning with the Winter Luau in 2006. Their most recent appearance was backstage at the Club Penguin Play Awards. They are also scheduled to perform and appear at Music Jam 2009.

During the Wild West party in 2006, they appeared as part of a special activity for players. During that party, they misplaced their musical instruments and penguins played a scavenger hunt to find them. Every player who completed the scavenger hunt got a Club Penguin Band player background. The band appeared again at the Music Jam 2008, playing on stage at the Iceberg. During breaks, they would appear on different servers in the Backstage area, where members had the chance to meet them and obtain the special autographed player card background. They appeared yet again backstage at the Club Penguin Play Awards in 2009 and players had another chance to get the special background.

The band is scheduled to appear again at Music Jam 2009 and will be greeting players during breaks. The Club Penguin Band will move from server to server, much like Rockhopper does during his visits. Finding the band will require a little luck and patience, but here are a few tips. First, they will only appear on break in the backstage area, so you need to be a member to meet them. If you're not a paid member, you won't get to see them backstage and get the special player background. Second, the band will move frequently, so it makes sense to pick a server and wait backstage for them to come to you. When they do appear on a server, the room can get full very quickly. If you don't have the time or patience to wait for them to come to you, try using a Club Penguin Band Tracker to determine which server they're on. You may need to try a few times because they appear on popular servers, which get crowded very quickly.

The Club Penguin Band only visits a few times each year, so it's a rare chance to meet them. Getting the special autographed player background card is a real treat and can be a real status symbol in the game. Following the above tips can really improve your chances of meeting the Club Penguin Band when they visit.
