Penguin band



The Penguin Band is Club Penguin's official band. It is made up of four penguins. There once was a scavenger hunt when penguins had to find the Band's instruments. Once players found the instruments, their penguin was rewarded with a player card background featuring the band. Another background was given out during the Music Jam party when the band went on break. Like Rockhopper, the band members can be seen sometimes during certain parties, on random servers signing autographed backgrounds and talking to penguins.



Penguin Chat 3 Band (PC3 Band)
Interestingly, a group of musical penguins resembling the Club Penguin Band existed in Penguin Chat 3. There were a few differences, listed below:


 * All of PC3's band members were Old Blue, as it was the only color available at that time.
 * There were only three members of this band, because Franky hadn't joined yet.
 * The piano that one of the penguins used was brown, not black.
 * A flute was never used in the Penguin Chat 3 band.
 * There is not an acoustic guitar player in the group.
 * The band played around the clock at the Dance Club. There were not any speakers or disk jockey stations in the room.
 * In the only known picture of a Penguin Chat 3 Igloo, the PC3 Band is inexplicably depicted as playing in the igloo. They are playing a song called "I've Been Delayed" by a band called TAS1000. View that here.



Members
The band is made up of four members (and one unknown one), they are:
 * G Billy (Dark Blue, sometimes Old Blue): plays the drum and the flute.
 * Petey K (Green): plays the accordion and the piano.
 * Stompin' Bob (Red): plays the bass.
 * Franky (Yellow): plays the acoustic guitar.
 * Unknown Band Member (He name may be Joey B) (Light Blue): plays the acoustic guitar.



Music Jam 2008
The Penguin Band made a special appearance at the Music Jam 2008 festival. During that appearance, the band took breaks from playing at the Iceberg and during those breaks individual band members went to the backstage room for members on the main stage, much like Rockhopper does during his appearances. Penguins who found one or more of the band members could get a special player card background featuring the band. This also happened in the Penguin Play Awards when backstage for members was released again. This time in the Stage, they gave out the same background.

Wild West Party '06
After the band did their performance in the Dance Club they lost all their instruments. So, penguins had to go on a scavenger hunt to find them afterwards you were awarded with (as mentioned above) a background. Which you can see on the left under the newer one.

Trivia

 * All the current members of the Club Penguin Band, used to work for Shops such as the Pizza Parlor and Pet Shop, and they claim they would have still worked there if they had not become musicians.
 * During the Winter Luau 2006, 3 penguins were performing at The Night Club. While two looked like G Billy and Stompin' Bob, there was an unknown light blue penguin playing the guitar. This penguin could possibly be an ex-member of The Penguin Band, this may also mean Petey K wasn't part of the band back then, indicating he is the second newest band member of the band, but it may also be Franky in disguise, and Petey K was sick.
 * Surprisingly, the Penguin Band wasn't seen at the 2009 St. Patrick's Party, unlike all the other St Patrick's day parties. But this might be because they played later that month at the penguin play awards.
 * Like Rockhopper, Cadence, Gary, and Aunt Arctic, the Penguin Band can sometimes be controlled or be robots when they are walking around.
 * All members of the Penguin Band are level 5 members.
 * The Penguin Band started wearing hats and their own clothing item (like Franky's shoes and Stompin' Bob's sunglasses) so they could be recognized in public. Before they did this, they were just normal looking penguins.
 * The penguin band has two backgrounds. Most penguins have the newer one but some have the old one.
 * All of the members of the band's instruments are not available to real penguins except Franky's guitar. Stompin Bob's bass is not available at all, G Billy's drum sticks are silver, and Petey K's accordion is different colors than the one available to penguins.
 * They played in Penguin Chat 3 and therefore, were known as the Penguin Chat 3 Band. However, Franky never played, but the other band members did.
 * They are the only penguins that can wear items and still play instruments.
 * Penguins usually stand behind the band and talk, so it looks like the Penguin Band is talking.
 * There is a card in Card-Jitsu with the band on it.
 * Penguin Band is yet the only one, including Cadence that has not yet been a toy.
