Barkada Band allows members to express their musical talents through modern musical instruments and hope to also learn and perform using traditional Philippine instruments.  Ever since its initiation in 2006 by Joel Soong, Barkada Band has performed at Barkada’s Got Talent, Barkada’s End of the Year Banquet, Barkada’s Pilipino-American Culture Night, Lunar New Year Festival, Pilipino Graduation, Academic and Community Excellence Awards Banquet, and Asian and Pacific Islander Heritage Month.
