The Club Penguin Band is a group of four penguins that appear very rarely in the Club Penguin game, usually in conjunction with special events and parties. If you meet them in game and click on them, you can get a special autographed background featuring the band for use on your player card.

The four members of the band are named G. Billy (Dark Blue), Petey K (Green), Stompin’ Bob (Red), and Franky (Yellow). and they always appear together as a group. They have appeared several times in the game, starting at the Winter Luau in 2006.

There was a special event during their appearance at the Wild West party in 2006. During that party, they misplaced their musical instruments and players undertook 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 many different servers in the Backstage area, where members had the chance to meet them and obtain the special autographed player card background. They appeared once more backstage at the Club Penguin Play Awards in 2009 and players had another opportunity 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.

Remember that the Club Penguin Band doesn’t visit very often, and when they do it’s only for a short while. Keep that in mind as you use the above tips and tricks to find them. If you do, it’s a really fun experience and the autographed player card background makes a great souvenir!
