Brown 1975
Brown at Princeton
November 1st, 1975
Princeton loses 16-24
Pregame
Ladies and Gentlemen,… the vacationing Princeton University Marching Band!!
“Cannon Song”
Saluting out visitors from Brown, the Band poses the musical question, “to B or not to B.”
“Brown Cheering Song”
Floating across the field, the a ghost of its former self, the Band forms the skeleton of out spirited rotating P.
“Going Back”
Halftime
Ladies and gentlemen, the Princeton University Marching Masked…Ball Band takes a long…hard look at Halloween.
“Princeton Forward”
Speaking of Charlie Brown, the Band first asks, “What’s so great about the great pumpkin?” All the sweet little girls and boys sit alone in the pumpkin patch waiting for the great pumpkin to…rise, but he never does. In sympathy, the Band consoles those who are still waiting for their…treat, by reminding them that in a few…short months Santa Claus will be…sliding down their…chimney.
“Promises, Promises” (Band forms a pumpkin)
The Band notes that Princeton is the only University to give a vacation at Halloween, in honor of our colors,…orange and black. We take our holiday seriously, in fact,…we take it any way we can get it! Especially at our age, we get…excited about tricks…and treats. Bags…in hand, we go door to door, hoping every knock…will give us…goodies.
“My Favorite Things”
Speaking of treats, the Band asks, “What do people give as tricks or treats when their…bells are rung?”
(Band forms ‘?’ -> ‘!’)
And now the Band rings your bells, noting that at Halloween time, “Anythings Goes”
And who was that masked man?…I wanted to thank him.
