Colgate 1990
Princeton vs. Colgate

Outcome Unknown
Pregame
Ladies and gentlemen, the Princeton University Band rolled into Hamilton last night… and before we knew it, we had rolled right back out.
“Princeton Cannon Song”
The Band woke up today, a little hazy after a long night at the DKE house. Despite their colorful past, we realize that all students are truly brothers, so we rushed out to pledge our support to Colgate’s Greek system as they “Fight, Fight, Fight” their legal battles.
“Fight, Fight, Fight” (Band forms a small ‘c’)
The Band went up and down last night… all over campus. In tribute to the ups and downs of Colgate campus life, it’s the

Ladies and gentlemen, join the Princeton University Band as we go back to school. Quick, Band — you’re late to class!
(Band scrambles onto field)
I hope you remembered your homework, Band. Oh, no! Don’t feel bad; ever since there’s been homework, there’s been late homework. Take Throg, the cavekid, who was the first to try this line: “I dropped my problem set, and it broke!” Plato used this one on Socrates: “Zeus seduced my mother and stole my homework!” In the Middle Ages, Copernicus once tried: “The Church banned my homework!” During the Irish potato famine, many a schoolchild lamented: “My family ate my science project!” And in the 1960’s, the love crowd often claimed: “Somebody smoked my English paper!” Forming a scrap of homework blowin’ in the wind, the Band pays a musical tribute to these early proponents of higher education.
“Blowin’ in the Wind” (Band forms a scrap of paper)
Eww! What’s that smell? Must be lunchtime! Good thing you brought your plaid lunchbox, Band. Lunchboxes have come along way since Throg’s lunch cage. Achilles never left his tent without his Trojan lunch box, complete with secret compartment. And even French Revolutionaries carried lunch boxes filled with cake. During the 80’s, many a schoolchild went without his Ding Dongs due to the popular, yet difficult to open, Rubik’s Lunch Box. Forming a boxed lunch on the field, the Band reveals its favorite lunchtime goody.
“Miller Time” (Band forms lunch box)
Oh no, Band; you shouldn’t have eaten so much at lunch — it’s time for Gym. Everyone always loved athletics. In the beginning there was volleyboulder, an exciting but short-lived sport, which was quickly renamed “squash.” Some years later, Viking crew teams kept fit with events such as the two mile pillage, the one mile pillage, and the half mile pillage and burn. Though the Vikings were the first traveling athletes, the first official away game was, of course, the Crusades. Forming an athletic sword on the field, the Band plays the crusader’s favorite fight song.
“When the Saints Go Marching In” (Band forms a sword)
Just who is this Jim guy anyway, and why do we have to put on shorts to see him?

- Up the hill,
- Down the street,
- It’s not as steep as it looks,
- Trucks use lower gear,
- It’s not Mount Everest, but we’ve seen it on TV,
- Oh, no! There go the brakes on my bike,
- Soon reaching terminal velocity,
- Tower has cleared us for landing,
- Brush up-and-down, not side-to-side,
- Single-Double Roating P!
