"After 3 years of coming to Penn Band Camp, I can honestly say every year it is one of the best weeks of my summer. I have made so many friends that have made an impact on me and camp is a great opportunity to meet people from all different places, from philly to California. The fun music is what makes this band camp different from many others, in that we play genres from pop to opera. Other than the music and rehearsals, there's always some fun activity planned to look forward to every day (Franklin field night is my personal favorite). All in all, Penn Band Camp is an amazing experience and really allows students make friends, get creative, and just have fun!!"

"Going To Upenn band camp was an amazing experience. I learned that there are a lot of people who have the same passion for music as I do. The band mates there were pretty cool, too! The Upenn band camp experience motivated me to really want to go to college for something I like, and become a professional in and teach people how to play drums."

"Hi I'm my name is Ilian, and I wanted to say how awesome the Penn Band Camp was for me. The experience I had for that week was really great. I got to experience meeting new people, socializing, and learning how to become more responsible. I can't express how much more responsible this Camp made me, and taught me how to become more independent. I became friends with people that I didn't even know! However, the Penn Band Camp didn't just teach me how to become a better person, but it also made me become better at reading music without needing to write the letter of each note on top of it. I became better with my tempo on how to come on time. Furthermore, my favorite thing that I became better as was playing higher notes than I originally could! To conclude, I enjoyed the experience the Penn Band Camp had, and I hope I can do it again."
