Dartmouth at Princeton
November 22nd, 1986
Outcome Unknown
Ladies and Gentlemen, the Princeton University Band presents its Orange Key guided tour of Princeton.
“Going Back” (Band backs onto field)
The first stop on our tour is Nassau Hall, better known as the Rick Curtis Memorial Climbing Wall, where Rick, the Assistant Dean of the Clapper, was struck down saving the freshmen from themselves. Alas Poor Rick, we knew him well. Moving along to Wilson College, we see President Bowen’s dreams of in loco parentis come to fruition. Concerned that students might fall and hurt themselves in Wilson courtyard, Norm Itzkowitz had the courtyard removed. All of it. Rufus “Chick” Jones, ace proctor, in his never ending quest to make the campus safer has even padded President Bowen’s neck, and we’d like to thank him by forming the OA Climbing Wall, perhaps the only dangerous thing left on campus.
“Joshua” (Band forms climbing wall)
Our next stop is the Prince building. A recent article reported that freshmen, enraged with Assistant Dean of Students Rick Curtis for prohibiting clapper snatching, snatched Dean Curtis. Denying that Rick had ever been missed, Provost Rudenstine claimed that published photos of the alleged dean were actually Rick’s baby pictures. Our research revealed that Rick was actually abducted by the Sons and Grandsons of Aaron Burr, who hid him, inaugurating the first annual “Rick Curtis Hunt.” The Prince regrets the error. If you find Dean Curtis, please mail him to Bill Bowen, care of Nassau Hall. Forming the Prince building, the Band hopes that someday our prince will come.
“Someday My Prince Will Come” (Band forms building)
The tour is over and we’re still in Princeton, and we’re waiting on line. But for what? We’re at the Palmer Square post office, where they slowly parcel out service, and we can’t stamp out the problem. Oh no, Band! We only have a quarter. How about a drink? A quarter can’t buy a coke but maybe we can write a check. No, writing checks for coke is a bad habit. Let’s order out for pizza. Illustrating the battle lines drawn in the pizza war, the Band uses a slice of diplomacy and brings a peace to the campus.
“Coke Theme” (Band forms line and depicts pizza war) (Band follows into script ‘PU’)
Enough about everyone else, we’d like to mention our own accomplishments this season. We played to deaf ears at Cornell, we were twice as long for Northwestern, we exposed ourselves to the nation for Brown, we did nothing at Columbia, we gave birth at Lehigh, we creamed Harvard, we f)’d the Penn band, we mingled with William and Mary, and we Redefined life in New Haven. But not everything the Band does is Mickey Mouse. Now it’s time to say goodbye, to all our company. Thanks be to: President Bowen, sorry about your neck; Dean Lowe, we love your pipe; The University Store for warming us up; Jim “I’m still 49” Lawson for feeding us; Dave and Felix for speedily driving us out of Virginia; Chris VanSelis and Ann Halliday for always straightening things out; Bob Myslik, Tom Wright, and Myrt Whitcomb for just being you; Coach Rogerson and Tiger football which is why we’re all here; and of course, all you afficionados of high stepping sonic glory, our fans.
“The Stars and Stripes Forever” (Band is in script ‘PU’, ripple bow at end of song)
This season was brought to you in part by Stud Conductor Mike “the human Metronome” Hildreth, Drum Major Steve “why is there hair in my punch?” Singer, President Caroline “up all your friends” Hull, and myself, Chris “I haven’t been pied yet” Sibilia. Thanks for coming, see you next year — same Bat time, same Bat channel.
