Greetings, Penguins!

Music Jam (I like jam) is all wrapped up, but I think music is always cool to celebrate. We wanted to give you more ways to have fun with it, and if you check out the 101 Days of Fun Offline Activities on the website, you’ll see some sheet music. You can use it to learn to play a Club Penguin song! I know Screenhog’s really into music so I asked him about it.

Q: We checked out the sheet music – Where can penguins find that song in Club Penguin?
A: You can hear it on the homepage when you click the Tour Guide and start the movie.
Q: The team is doing some work at the Lighthouse stage so that (just like during the Music Jam) we’ll be able to hear certain instruments when we play there. What do you think?

A: I’m glad. However, I personally like seeing the songs that penguins play and sing all over Club Penguin even more.
Q: Do you play any instruments? Got any quick tips to share with other musically inclined penguins?
A: Yep, I can play a few – the alto saxophone, a few percussion instruments, but my all-time favorite is the piano. To any of you who play real instruments, keep it up! Find a song and see if you can learn how to play it, or even try and compose your own music. All of Club Penguin’s music is made by someone, and maybe someday that someone could be you!

New igloo music ready on Friday… Hope you’re still having fun with your bands. I’ll never get tired of having really loud igloo parties!
Until then…Waddle on!!

Hello Penguins!

It’s been great to hear how much you loved the Music Jam. We saw tons of awesome bands, and you guys have been really creative all over the island with the music party stuff. A lot of you told us that you liked being able to hear your instruments at the Lighthouse stage. Since we heard from so many of you, we’re going to make that a permanent thing. The team is working so that in about a week, anytime you play at the Lighthouse stage with certain instruments, you’ll be able to hear them! Let us know what you think.
Even though the Music Jam is officially done, some of the party music will be available in your igloos this Friday. To get ready for the new tracks, check out the latest Better Igloos catalog (it came out just over a week ago), and then decorate with some music items to keep your own party going!

Until then…Waddle on!

Hello Penguins!

Voting started for the brand new penguin color today and already it’s pretty busy at the booth:

It’ll be there in the Forest until July 27, so check it out before then and cast your ballot to help decide.

I also wanted you know about the three new postcards that are available right now! You can send one to your buddies to try to get them to vote for the same color as you. I’ve seen penguins all over the island saying which color they want. It’s cool.

In Other News: Let us know what you’re doing for this last weekend of Music Jam!

Until then…Waddle on!

Greetings Penguins!

There were tons of fabulous comments on last week’s Reviewed By You post. It was really cool to see what you guys thought about each of the new possible penguin colors. Here’s a comment we thought was fun:

Coolman said:
i like…ALL OF THEM its so hard to choose. I like aqua cuz i love the color blue. I like Maroon cuz its a fun bright color! And last but not least i like Lavender because it is a summer color and it is summer! U rock cp!!!!!!!! Untill then waddle on!

Thanks, Coolman. I like all the colors too. They remind me of those salt water taffy candies… Don’t forget to vote in the Forest starting this Friday!

We hope you’re loving the Music Jam and we’d love to know what your favorite party area is – and why?

Remember – 50 – 75 words please!

Until then…Waddle on!

Hey everyone, Screenhog here!
Here’s a quick list of some of the things we don’t want you to miss at the party:

• If you have an instrument, then you should go to the Lighthouse stage! If you play your drums, tuba, trombone, or any guitar, you can actually hear what you’re playing. Just wear the instrument (only the instrument and no other items) and dance!

• The Underground Cave has a floor piano! Step on a key. Oh, and the switch on the wall lets you hear other penguins!

• There are musical icicles in the Mine. Mouse over them!

• Battle of the Bands at the Snow Forts! The stages are connected to a meter and the one with the most penguins wins!

• The Music Maker 3000 is back! Last year it was in the Dojo but this time it’s near the Snow Forts. Bring some friends and play giant musical instruments.

• Keep checking out the big stage at the Dock as it plays music from all of the other stages. (It’s also the entrance to the Backstage.)

We hope you’re having a lot of fun. Let us know your favorite things at the party!

Until then…Waddle on!

Hello Penguins!

You guys left a lot of comments in last week’s Reviewed By You post about how cool it’ll be to vote for another penguin color! We think it’s great that you love to choose stuff (like the time you picked the new name for Ballistic Biscuit, the Penguin Play Awards, and the “You Decide” blogs), and we’re excited to see which color you’ll vote for.

The booth will be in the Forest starting this Friday until Tuesday, July 28!

In Other News: The Penguin Tales writing contest begins this Thursday. All the topics and details about how to submit your creative stories will be in this week’s Club Penguin Times, so start thinking about what the topics might be! (Did someone say something about “Hiking Vikings?”)

Until then…Waddle on!

Hello Penguins!

Today’s the day a lot of you have been waiting for!! Music Jam’s finally here and we hope you’re having fun exploring the island. Be sure to check out the underground areas, and try playing your instruments at the Lighthouse! Members can even pick up an All-Access Pass in the shop by the Snow Forts. (It’ll get you into places where you might just run into some of your favorite music-making penguins…)

In Other News: We know you’ll be busy discovering the new stuff for the party, but don’t forget to head to your igloo to see the new furniture catalog. There are a bunch of music-themed items to get you geared up to make some noise. Let us know how all your performances go!

Until then…Waddle on!

Hello Penguins!

It’s almost here! The Music Jam kicks off tomorrow and there were lots of cool answers to last week’s question about how you guys are getting ready for it. Here’s one we liked from Otter’s Rule:

Me and my friends are all getting ready for the Music Jam Party already. We’ve got all of our instruments gathered up and have already started practicing! We have these rockin’ cool outfits too. I think this Music Jam will be the biggest party on Club Penguin yet! We’ve also planned to meet the Penguin Band backstage. We can hardly wait for this rockin’ cool party! Waddle On!

Thanks – Sounds like you’re ready for the party!

The team’s getting pretty excited around here because next Friday, July 24, you’ll be able to go to a voting booth in the Forest and choose a BRAND NEW penguin color!! Here they are:

So – this week, we want to know which color you’re thinking you might vote for… Do you like the Lavender, Maroon, or Aqua? And why?

Thanks for keep your responses between 50 – 75 words!

Until then…Waddle on!

Greetings, Penguins!

The Music Jam Party starts this Friday and there are some amazing band rehearsals happening all over the island. It’s so cool to see you guys getting ready. I saw the pic of the Lighthouse from Billybob’s Monday post – pretty impressive. It made me so excited to actually see the party and I wanted to talk to someone on the team who worked on the decorations.

Q: I know there are a lot of different music stages for this party. Which one was the most fun to work on?
A: All the stages were great to work on, but if I had to pick a favorite I’d say the big stage at the dock. It changes themes throughout the party.

Q: How did you come up with all the different decorations?
A: The focus was kept on two things, music stages and things that make noise. So there are different stages, but also some cool noise-making surprises!

Q: I heard rumors about a chocolate fountain in one of the backstage areas. Is that true?
A: Wait! There’s a chocolate fountain Backstage!?!? Golly, look at the time, I better. . . umm. . . get back to work. . . at the Backstage. . .

Party starts Friday! Have fun and let us know what you think of how the island looks!

Until then…Waddle on!
