Trivia
- An ongoing joke among music students in the late 1990s at PCC revolved around the naming convention for the rooms in the Fine Arts building. All rooms at PCC followed the naming convention of xx-ny where xx was the two-letter prefix of the building (ES = Earth Science, FA = Fine Arts, etc.), n was the floor number, and y was the letter of the room. The main band hall at PCC was in the Fine Arts building, first floor, and room "L". Thus the room number was FA-1L which looked remarkably like the word, "fail." The FA-1L room number was stenciled on all music stands and equipment belonging in the room, so the subliminal message to "fail" seemed to be everywhere.
- The jazz/stage band named Abstract Class had a polo shirt logo designed by Jon Reddick featuring the Pac-Man font for the word "Abstract" and a script font for the word "Class." The name jokingly implied that the band members had class, but it was so abstract as to not be readily obvious to the onlooker.
