Colgate 1980
Colgate at Princeton
October 18th, 1980
Princeton wins 14-10
Ladies and gentlemen, the Princeton University Band takes a long, hard look at life with tubes.
“Princeton Forward”
Tubes have always played an important part in all our lives. They kept us afloat in the swimming pool, they provided the backbone to countless rolls of toilet paper, and they made easy our oral hygeine. But nowadays, if you are one of a special few, the tube has taken on a new role — your mother. What will become of motherhood with the advent of test-tube babies? Somehow baseball, apple pie and test-tube-hood doesn’t seem the proper American ideal. Could necessity ever really be the test-tube of invention? Does your test-tube really wear army boots? Wondering what will happen now that science has taken the fun out of reproduction, the Band says it wants a test-tube just like the test-tube that married dear old Dad.
“I Want a Girl” (Band forms female symbol which changes to a prohibiting road sign)
(Read a la Mr. Rogers) Hi neighbor. It’s time to turn on the tube. We’ll watch educational television. Today we’ll go to Hamilton, New York. Can you say boonies? Sure, I knew you could. There’s a school in Hamilton. Colgate, too. Can you say remedial? I like the way you say that. Do any of you go to school in Hamilton? That’s okay, if Mr. Band did, he’d need a minute to think about it too. Oh well, time to go back to the Ivy Kingdom. Can you say Bye-bye?
“Show Me The Way To Go Home” (Band forms television set)
One thing that’s going down the tubes is innocence. What has caused the youth of today to suddenly become so shockingly sophisticated? No one is quite sure, yet children who are barely old enough to play doctor are suddenly performing major surgery. The adolescent who used to tremble at the though of the opposite sex is nowadays losing more than simply his cool. Asking if that’s a tube of Clearasil, the Band forms its collection of etchings on the field and reminds everyone that the Mann Act lives on.
“Where Have All the Flowers Gone” (Band forms three rectangular etchings)
And now, taking AIM at mediocrity, from the CREST of musical superiority, the ULTRA-BRITE sounds of the musical group that four out of five dentists recommend — the Princeton University Marching Band.
“National Emblem” (Band forms P.U.B.)
