Dartmouth 1990
Dartmouth at Princeton
November 17th, 1990
Outcome Unknown
Pregame
In its final pregame of the season, the Princeton University Band is led by lame duck President Beth Katona. Hey Beth: Dehydrate… (“Rehydrate!”)
“How Dry I am” segues into “Princeton Cannon Song”
The Princeton University Band has fortunately been well-endowed with Beth’s presence over the past four years. Whoever would have guessed that spunky little freshwomen would have such an impact on the Band’s… eardrums. Independent in both her thinking and eating, Beath was the charter member of the University Cabbage Club. Forming a backward ‘b’, the Band plays “As Beth Goes Screaming By.”
“As the Backs Go Tearing By” (Band forms a small ‘d’)
Hey Band...Ahhhhhhh! In our last ‘P’ of the year, the Band forms the
“Going Back” (Band forms box of Double-Single Rotating Dental Floss)
“The Star Spangled Banner”
Halftime
Stumbling onto the field like a flock of turkeys with their heads cut off, the Princeton University Band takes a puritanical and pious look at Thanksgiving.
“Princeton Forward”
It’s a little known fact that before the Pilgrims settled at Plymouth Rock, they landed on the scenic Jersey shore, but left after stepping on a dirty needle. Imagine what Thanksgiving would be like if the Pilgrims had colonized Princeton; we’d be eating roast squirrel and meatless turkey parmesan. If they had settled in San Francisco, we’d all be thankful for Rice-a-Roni (what a treat!); but boy, it’s a good thing they didn’t land in New Hampshire, otherwise we’d all be enjoying sheep, just like the guys at Dartmouth. Forming a lamb chop, the Band says, “I’ve Got Plenty of Mutton.”
“I’ve Got Plenty of Nothing” (Band forms a lamb chop)
The Band’s favorite part of Thanksgiving is eating Mom’s leftovers for weeks and weeks. That stuffed bird can sure be used for a lot of things: there’s turkey sandwiches, turkey soup, turkey pot pie, turkey stir fried with tofu, turkey ice cream, caffeine-free turkey Slice. Speaking of turkeys, take the Dartmouth band. (“Please. No, really.”) But after weeks and weeks of all this cold meat, we’re glad when we get down to the bone. Forming a wishbone on the field, the Band invites you to grab us and make a wish.
“When You Wish Upon a Star” (Band forms a wishbone)
Speaking of Thanksgiving, the Band would like to take this moment to remember all of the people who made our 72nd season of marching, mirth, and merriment so successful. Special thanks to Chris and Myrt for always being there, to Amy and Tom for not catching our funniest lines, to Jack “Hotfoot” Hontz for all the trouble he’s seen, to Sam Howell and Dan Martin for all their help during the Harvard game, to Harry Sluncheonette for his excellent coffee, to all those hapless students in Wilcox Hall and the Student Center during our show-writing sessions, to DEC for being such an endless source of humor, and to the Class of ’39 and all our other loyal fans for their enthusiastic support. And now, President “Buxom” Beth Katona, Conductor Kelvin “The Pelvis” Lee, Drum Major Mike “Don’t Touch My Mace” Amabile, and your Announcer Paul “I’m Still Not Wearing Any Pants” Conrad sign off in style while the Band plays “The Stars and Stripes Forever” — just because we can.

- I don’t have ID, but I have a DM book,
- Katona with a ‘K’, not a ‘C’,
- Who wants to take me to dinner?,
- Hey Beth, is that an automated toll booth?,
- Can we play soccer with your hamster ball?,
- I’m going to have a crisis now,
- List? We don’t need no stinking list,
- Wanna drive the van to Yale?,
