Cornell 1981
Cornell at Princeton
November 21st, 1981
Princeton wins 37-14
Ladies and gentlemen, in its farewell performance of the 1981 marching season, the Princeton University Band would like to take this opportunity to salute some of the things that make America great.
(Band marches out to the “Washington Post March”)
The automobile. Symbol of American know how. Four wheeled steel icon representing America on the move. Recognizing the pioneering spirit of such great Americans as Henry Ford and Harvey Firestone who together paved the way for the network of highways and byways which join the cities of this great land, we pay tribute to the driving spirit and ingenuity of American inventiveness and to the V-8 engine.
“Chevrolet Theme” (Band forms Chevy emblem)
From its modest beginnings in 1776, the United States Military has grown into the most awesome defensive power that the world has ever known. Reminding all true Americans that eternal vigilance is the price of liberty, we form the Trident Missile submarine Ohio on the field and demonstrate how this newest addition to America’s defenses will keep the oceans safe for democracy.
“Anchors Away” (Band forms submarine which torpedos a Russian trawler)
And what makes America great? It’s American industry. And what makes American industry great? American labor. Organized American labor. Hard working, devoted men and women who have that 110% effort to make American productivity the envy of the modern world.
“Union Label” (Band forms ‘AFL CIO’)
Wait a minute, Band. Union rules. It’s time for your milk and cookies break. (The Band stops playing and drinks milk eats cookies on the field). Wasn’t that great? (Band responds mmmmmmmm!) And wholesome, too. Fellow patriots, we’re lucky to live in the United States where we enjoy a high standard of living, religious freedom, high technology, gasahol, mood rings, slice-O-matics, cruise control, aerosol cheese, no pork product bacon bits, rich corinthian leather, Koolaid, video games, pasteurized processed artificial cheese product, mom, marriage, Bob & Tina, apple pie, baseball, football, championship wrestling, gong show, Wink Martindale, John Cameron Swayze, Don Pardo, Charo, Roto-Rooter, the Ty-D-Bol man, ring around the collar, racial & sexual equality, Sandra Day O’Connor, the 1980 US Olympic Hockey team, the L.A. Dodgers, Speigel Catalog Chicago 60609, chain letter, chain link fences, chain smoking, Art Linkletter, Dandy Don, Howard Cosell, Mister Rogers, corn, wheat, rye, barlet, Cap’n Crunch, amber waves of grain, Walt Disney, Mickey Mouse, Dumbo, Bonzo, Burgess Meredith, Twinkies, plastics, wind-up dentures, joy buzzers, whoopy cushions, slinkies, Budweiser Bud Man, Potato Buds, nose glasses, rubber chickens, Bugs Bunny, Elmer Fudd, Road Runner, the White Tornado, Iron City, coal miners, coal miner’s daughter, farmers’ daughters, alumni daughters, travelling salesmen, the Golden Gate, the wide Mississippi, purple mountains majesty, the vast plains, the mighty Pacific, the giant redwood, the proud and sturdy oak, the LARCH, Stars and Stripes, higher education, monopoly, parcheesi, Redi Whip, the Whopper, 2 all-beef patties, special sauce, lettuce, cheese, pickles, onions, on a sesame seed bun, God, guns, guts, chaw, frog jumping, potato chips, aluminum siding, hula hoops, hot dogs, pizza, Clearasil, Oxy 5, Oxy 10, oil filters, the space shuttle, Tatum O’Neil, Shirley Temple, The Duke, Phyllis, Brent, and Irv, Charles Huber ’51, Nathan Hale, PVC, RCA, PCB, DDT, JFK, RFK, CBS, ABC, NBC, JKSC, NFW, BVD, BFD, FBI, IUD, CTO, FDR, MTA, MX, ERA, ELO, DNA, PRB, NYC, TRW, RPM, IBM, MBA, BSE, CPA, THC, PHD, LSD, MIT, NIT, NCAA, LSU, M.I.C. K.E.Y. M.O.U.S.E.
(Band forms ‘USA’ and sings “America the Beautiful” as the list is read)
Yes, America, home of free press, freedom of speech and freedom of expression. Where, unlike any other country in the world, a group of 100 students can be given the opportunity to voice its views in front of thousands of people every week and where citizens bask in the blinding light of liberty.
“Fanfare” (The Band remains on the field to be joined by the participants in high school band day and plays, en masse, “The Orange and the Black” and “The Thunderer.”)
