Cornell 1977
Cornell at Princeton
November 12th, 1977
Princeton wins 34-0
Ladies and gentlemen, the Princeton University Marching Band takes a long, hard look at the Real World.
“Princeton Forward” (The Band continues to march, while playing, all the way into the tunnel at the closed end of Palmer Stadium.)
Aw, come on back here. It’s not THAT bad!
“Going Back” (The Band marches BACKWARDS out of the tunnel while playing.)
After shelling out $28,000 one might expect a job awaiting you after your Princeton liberal arts education…RIGHT. But of course, premeds and prelaws don’t have to worry about their futures…RIGHT. And you can always come back and work for Princeton. Right, Scott? Right, Dave?…RIGHT. Promises, promises.
“Promises, Promises” (The word ‘RIGHT’ is spoken in a Bill Cosby, ‘you-poor-fool’ tone of voice) (dollar sign changes to cents sign)
But don’t worry, just take this simple test.
a) What is your name?
b) What is your age?
c) What is your favorite color?
e) What is the average airspeed of an African Swallow?
If you answered one or more of these questions… you can enroll in The Driver Training Institute, the Yale School of Leaders and Gutters, or, the Cornell School of Motel Management.
“Mickey Mouse” (‘?’)
In the real world, some newspapers don’t put news on the second page, have editorials on topics other than Bicker, and don’t pick Princeton to win every week. Yes, Virginia, there are more things worth reading in newspapers than just Doonesbury. The Band fondly salutes our own Tiger Rag.
“Tiger Rag” (‘R A G’)
In the real world, some people don’t think orange and black is an acceptable way to dress. But some people have no taste at all.
“The Orange and the Black” (‘P’)
[At the conclusion of the O & the B, the Band executes a perfect double rippled tip of the hat to conclude another great season of performances.]
