Brown 1978
Brown at Princeton
October 7th, 1978
Princeton loses 16-44
And now for the entertainment portion of halftime, ladies and gentlemen, the Princeton University Marching Band takes a long, hard look at Freshman Life at Princeton.
“Princeton Forward”
Traditionally ignoring the canons of good taste, the Band first looks at the Dining and Food Services, otherwise known as DFS. A typical Commons meal consists of Seafood Newburg, a savory melange of barnacles and sea water delicately welded to the plate; Mystery meat which wears a black mask, is tender as a silver bullet, and is made out of a white horse, smothered in Isabella McCosh memorial mushroom gravey. For dessert — Jello. Forming a cube of orange Jello, the Band salutes a common by-product of this typical Commons meal.
“Classical Gas” (Band forms a cube of Jello)
For an arriving Freshman, Princeton social life may sometimes appear barren. However, after a few embarrassing first efforts, most freshman find themselves, and their frustrations are eased somewhat. And while the male-to-female ratio may make the social scene appear impenetrable, the situation is well in hand by Thanksgiving and will remain so for the next four years. Forming a cold shower on the field, the Band salutes the fertile imagination of the Class of ’82.
“He’s Got the Whole World in His Hands” (Band forms a cold shower)
In all fairness, there are positive aspects of freshman life. We’ll just list a few:
a) There are over 19 library facilities on campus
b) Princeton has the largest open stack library in the world
c) The Reserve Room is usually open until 2:00 AM
d) Floor
e)
f) The Brown Band
“My Favorite Things” (Band forms a book)
But there’s one thing that makes every freshman’s life more enjoyable: The Princeton University Band.
