Columbia 1962

Columbia at Princeton
October 6th, 1962

Princeton wins 33-0
​

Ladies and gentlemen: The Princeton University Marching Band visits New York City… At the Polo Grounds, home of the record-shattering Mets, we see Marvelous Marv Throneberry miss a slow grounder, and in the dugout, Casey Stengel is heard to mumble:

“There’ll Be Some Changes Made” (Band forms a bat and a ball)

Next, we go to Wall Street and see speculator Melvin Wombat clutching his newly-bought blue chip stock certificates. He opens the 
Wall Street Journal and, to his dismay, discovers that:

“I’ve Got Plenty of Nothin'” (Band forms dollar sign)

Nestled near the pulsating heart of Central Park, scene of frequent beatings, attacks, and other violent atrocities lies Columbia’s sister college, Barnard. Seated on a secluded park bench, we see a lonely girl staring wistfully into the surrounding darkness.

“Some Enchanted Evening” (Band forms a dagger)

Finally, the Band today welcomes the Columbia student to the gothic grace of Princeton.

​“Stranger in Paradise” (Band forms Blair Arch)
