Dartmouth 2018
Dartmouth at Princeton
November 3rd, 2018
Princeton wins 14-9
Pregame:
Like a voice crying out in the wilderness, it’s the Princeton University Band!
[Band marches on to Princeton Cannon Song]
Meet Morphy, a fifteen-year-old corpse flower housed in Dartmouth’s College of Life Sciences Greenhouse. Dartmouth students are dying to see their corpse flower blossom. No, seriously, that’s why it smells so bad when it finally does bloom. It’s all of the rotting flesh of those who died waiting to see it. Corpse flowers typically take between seven and ten years to bloom. But considering that Morphy just bloomed two years ago, we’d say this guy is pretty quick to come. Forming a Amorphophallus titanum on the field, the band plays Carry On, My Wayward Morphy!
[Band forms a corpse flower and plays Carry On My Wayward Son]
What else is a bit misshapen and resembles rotting meat like the corpse flower? It’s our Double-Double-Rotating P!
[Band forms the Double-Double Rotating P and plays Going Back to Nassau Hall]
Run away band, smell ya later!
Halftime:
Is this a sandwich? No, it’s the Princeton University Band!
[Band marches on to Princeton Forward March]
Do you know what today is? It’s National Sandwich Day! All of this talk about sandwiches has got us thinking: what really is a sandwich? Ruth Bader Ginsburg says that hotdogs are sandwiches, and the owner of Qdoba says that burritos aren’t sandwiches. So much discrepancy! Here are some things that the band thinks might be sandwiches: a burrito, a hotdog, sushi, soup, two clapping hands, two well-groomed eyebrows, Keggy the Keg, the new Dartmouth logo, a roll of two-ply toilet paper, the midterms we failed last week, an enchantress with a special interest in fine particle geology, me at Walmart on Black Friday, Roland’s chops, BBQ sauce between two jugs, and the pizza place between the two Hoagie Havens. Forming the best hoagie on the field, the Band plays Sanchez.
[Band forms a hoagie and plays Children of Sanchez.]
We resorted to our trusty friend Google to find out the real definition of a sandwich. It says that sandwich is to “insert or squeeze (someone or something) between two other people or things, typically in a restricted space or so as to be uncomfortable.” Wow, much like this halftime show, huh? Forming a sandwich on the field, the band plays You Can Call Me A Sandwich.
[Band forms stick person and plays You Can Call Me Al].
Run away band, wait, has this halftime show been a sandwich?
