The Unrivaled Band Jam will be held approximately two hours prior to kick-off. A kick-off time for the game has not yet been determined.

 

“The Blue Band looks forward to combining with the UMass Minuteman Band and high school bands from Pennsylvania to add to the gameday experience for Nittany Lion fans on September 20,” said Dr. O. Richard Bundy, Director of the Penn State Marching Blue Band.
