Delaware 1982

Princeton at Delaware
September 25th, 1982
Outcome Unknown


Ladies and gentlemen, the Princeton University Band takes a long, hard look at…Pollution.

“Princeton Forward”

Something is rotten in the state of Delaware. Besides the Delaware Band. That’s right, the Delaware River. While Dupont allows the state to absorb their waste, they merely recycle their profits. Ha Ha. Asking the musical question, “Why are all the hens blue when the water isn’t?” the Band suggests that you do not go “Down by the Riverside.”

“Down by the Riverside” (Band forms a River)

Blue hens aren’t the only fowl things in Delaware skies. Working to make America great again, our current administration is relaxing its auto pollution standards to give the Big Three a breath of fresh air. However, Delaware residents are choking on these excessive emissions. Forming a catalytic converter on the field, the Band cleans up its act.

“Smoke Gets in your Eyes” (Band forms a catalytic converter, and trash percussion shoots out)

But Delaware’s pollution problem does not end with their water and air. Oh, no siree. They have plenty of pollution on what little ground they have. Forming the state of Delaware on the field (Pause) No, that’s too big. (Pause) No, that’s still too big. (Pause) There, that’s just right. The Band sinks to their level and gets small.

“We’ve Got to Get Out of This Place” (Band forms Delaware, first large, the smaller, then smallest)

And now, forming a garbage heap, the Band prepares to crawl back to New Jersey, the original home of industrial pollution.

“King Cotton” (Band forms Concert shell)

​And as if water, air and land pollution weren’t enough, prepare for the noise pollution of the Delaware Marching Band.
