New Penguin Color Vote!
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 Tuesday, July 28 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!-Club Penguin Team

Screenhog on Music Jam!
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!

Happy77 talks music décor
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!

Penguins Around the World!
Hello Penguins!When the team was talking about the 101 Days of Fun activities, we wanted to include something called Penguins Around the World where you could showcase pictures of your penguins and puffles in cool places. To get things started, we've posted a few photos we took so you can see what it's all about. You can find them in the Community section. Our pictures might be there now, but Penguins Around the World is really for you. Your pictures can be from a vacation, or even from your own town! If you don't have the toys, try creating something yourself, and then take a picture of it and send it in! We'd love to share your creativity with the community!
You can send in your pictures through the Art Submissions page. We'll be posting your first ones on Thursday, July 16 and then updating them every Thursday. We can't wait to see the spots where your penguins and puffles visit...
In Other News: You decided! Thanks to everyone who participated in the poll to choose a shirt for the August Penguin Style catalog. Your choice was: The Splatter!
.Until then...Waddle on!
