Cornell 2017
Cornell at Princeton
October 28th, 2017
Princeton loses 29-28
Pregame:
You don’t have to be dead to haunt people. It’s the Princeton University Band!
[Band marches on to Princeton Cannon Song]
Earlier this month was the 20th Anniversary of the Great Pumpkin prank at Cornell where a 60 pound pumpkin was somehow placed on top of a tower spire, 173 feet up in the air, for 158 days. But what is the secret behind this black magic?! No one knows who put it up there but I personally think it was GHOSTS. IT’S THE ONLY ANSWER. SO SPOOPY. Forming the Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown, the Band plays Land of 1000 Terrors.

Pretty sure it was ghosts who put the pumpkin on the tower. Just ask David S. Pumpkins! “I’m David Pumpkins and I’m here to scare the heck out of you. I’m doin my own thang just like the ghost who put the pumpkin on the tower and this Double Double Rotating P! Any questions?”
[Band forms Double Double Rotating P and plays Going Back to Nassau Hall]
Halftime:
Not desirable but necessary. It’s the Princeton University Band!

The Cornell Band is unique in that it’s the only non-scramble band in the Ivy League. It’s also probably the BIGGEST band in the Ivy League, with about 100 people here today. Is it just me or do they seem to be getting bigger every year? Just you wait, next year there will be 150, maybe 241 after that. They’ll just keep multiplying and getting bigger…
[Band forms infinity and plays 241]
You can imagine how hard it is to find a place for all these people to sleep when they’re 3 times our size. We just stuff them all into our dorms. For a school that trains hotel administrators, they sure do want a lot of free housing. Our rooms were so filled to the brim that we thought they were going to explode! We would’ve been covered in Cornell Bandies, just like how the citizens of Pompeii were covered in ash. Forming sardines in a can, the Band plays Pompeii.

Run away Band, the Red Terror is upon us.
