<p>What programs do they offer? I enjoy marching band and I am pretty good. I am in the Drumline and I am from Texas (that is where the BEST bands are from). Does it increase my chances of admission? what about scholarships?</p>
<p>well, since there are no merit scholarships- no, it won't help you.</p>
<p>None of the Ivies except for Cornell have true "marching" bands- we scramble, which is just like marching except fun and irreverent. Also, fun. <a href="http://www.pennband.net/%5B/url%5D">www.pennband.net/</a></p>
<p>I definitely think it would help you to get accepted and is worthy of note. The Penn Band has a pretty good reputation with the Penn administration since we perform at a lot of the "big time" functions. If you have any questions about the band or other music opportunities, feel free to IM (krtrumpet182)</p>
