Spring Fling
The Mask and Wig Band traditionally headlines the last day of Spring Fling performances, which is typically a Saturday, at the stage in the Lower Quad. They generally perform an hour long set of covers of popular music. Members of the cast generally sing for the band, along with female vocalists from other Penn performing arts groups. The other members of the company join the band on stage for the duration of the performance, and the show concludes with the singing of the Mask and Wig hallmark musical number, Tradition, by the senior members of the company.

Famous quotes containing the words spring and/or fling:
“Vanity is as advantageous to a government as pride is dangerous. To be convinced of this we need only represent, on the one hand, the numberless benefits which result from vanity, as industry, the arts, fashions, politeness, and taste; and on the other, the infinite evils which spring from the pride of certain nations, a laziness, poverty, a total neglect of everything.”
—Charles Louis de Secondat Montesquieu (1689–1755)
“Come round me, little childer;
There, don’t fling stones at me
Because I mutter as I go;
But pity Moll Magee.”
—William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)
