Dartmouth 2023
November 3, 2023
Princeton at Dartmouth
Dartmouth wins 23-21
Pregame:
It’s big, it’s plaid, it’s probably [redacted], it’s the Princeton University Band!
[Band marches on to Princeton Cannon Song]
We, the Band, would like to pitch a new mascot for Dartmouth: Darty Marty– short for Darting Martin. We are huge fans of Keggy the Keg, of course, but understand if the university – I mean college – feels apprehensive about officially supporting such a symbol of revelry and merriment. We imagine Darty Marty to be something like another American hero, memorialized in a song by one of our favorite bands.
Band forms american pie and plays “Buddy Holly”
[Band forms oval and plays "Buddy Holly"]
A long, long time ago I can still remember how that music used to make me smile. You know what else makes me smile?? Our DOUBLE DOUBLE ROTATING P!!
[Band forms Double Double Rotating P and plays “Going Back”]
What's with these homies, dissing my girl? Run away, band!
Halftime:
Nothing gold can stay, if you know what we mean– it’s the Princeton University Band!
[Band marches on to Princeton, Forward March]
Two roads diverged in a yellow wood and, sorry that we could not take both, took the road less traveled by. Only through a long and strenuous journey through the backroads of the American North East could we arrive at your institution– I mean college. Something peculiar though, did transpire somewhere along the way. In the woods– lovely, dark, and deep– we came upon what could only be described, I dare say, as… a time warp!
[Band forms a spiral and plays "Time Warp"]
At the other end of this wormhole we emerged from the woods changed, and looking a bit Green I’m sure. We looked upon your campus, I mean college, and found that we had landed unmistakably in the 1980s. We passed by the sorority and fraternity houses, one of them which we were informed was on double secret probation. We witnessed food fights, toga parties, and much merriment– a surprise considering what a joyless experience attending Dartmouth College must be. Fearing for our lives, we decided that to escape the situation absolutely required a futile and stupid gesture. Running back to the Big Green woods, we re-entered the wormhole to find ourselves back in this century. Though your university, I mean college, is far from home, there’s no place we’d rather be.
[Band forms a tree and plays "Rather Be"]
We have promises to keep, and miles to go before we sleep, and miles to go before we sleep. Run away Band!
