Davidson 2014
Davidson at Princeton
September 27th, 2014
Princeton wins 56-17
Pregame:
Sticking to the status quo, it's the Princeton University Band!
(The band marches on to Cannon.)
The Band wants to first welcome Davidson, home of the Wildcats, everywhere, raise your hands up in the air. Ahh, shucks, it was real unclassy of us to compare you guys to East High in High School Musical. You have a totally different shade of red. You know, Davidson, being a fellow school with a feline mascot, We're All in This Together, and this should be The Start of Something New. The truth is your brand of mouthgaurds are just What We've Been Looking For. So let's engage in some healthy competition and see who Bops to the Top. Ready, set, Getcha Head in the GAME OF THRONES.
(The band forms chorus/battle lines and plays Game of Thrones.)
Well that came out of nowhere. We're trying to do a show and GoT just butts itself in like it's the hottest thing since Keeping Up with the Kardashians. What a Scandal. Talk about Shameless. I feel like I'm in a House of Lies. Or Cards. At least they can never deny that Orange is the New Black, and Double is the new Double Rotating P!
(The band forms the Double Double Rotating P and plays Goin' Back)
Ladies and Gentlemen, please rise for the playing of our National Anthem.
(The band plays the national anthem.)
Run away, Band, or you'll miss The Last Ship!
Halftime:
Eating just enough cake to be able to run for eternity, it's the Princeton University Band!
(The band marches on to Forward March.)
According to our records, Woodrow Wilson began his college career at none other than Davidson, but left soon after to come here. Why'd he do it? Recently dredged up evidence points to a romance gone sour, in a letter in which Wilson tells Davidson exactly why he had to leave in 14 succinct points:
1. She refused to re-adjust her frontiers.
2. She wouldn't let him into her territorial waters.
3. She had bulky armaments, which resulted in some pretty bad crugs: crappy hugs.
4. She didn't let him into her eating houses, which are for women only.
The rest of the points are iterations on this last one, because Woodrow Wilson really wanted to eat. So he came here where the male was liberated and free to join pretty much anything he wanted. Forming a W for Davidson and an M for Princeton AT THE SAME TIME to express how boys and girls just don't see eye to eye, the band plays Bad Romance.
(The band forms an M facing Princeton and plays Bad Romance.)
So what happened after Woodrow Wilson left Davidson for Princeton? Well, less exposure to him gave them the trappings of the same traditions but lacking that je ne sais quoi. They tried to do the eating clubs, but just ended up with some eating houses. They tried to do grade deflation, but never quite made it as newsworthy as ours. They made an Honor Code too, but couldn't figure out how to make it less long-winded without plagiarizing. They even tried to be Tigers,
but they just ended up a bunch of pudgy copycats –ahem, I mean wildcats– from eating a whole cake for every freshman that finishes a 100-yard dash. Forming a simple shape and a replica of that shape that just can't get
its act together, the band plays Chameleon.
(The band forms a sharp triangle and an adjacent shimmying triangle and plays Chameleon.)
Run away, band. It's time for your next cake infusion.
