Fordham 1989
Princeton vs. Fordham
October 21th, 1989
Outcome Unknown
Ladies and Gentlemen, celebrating Tiger Football’s 1000th game, the Princeton University Band takes a record-breaking look at some other recent milestones.
(“Princeton Forward”)
In a recent milestone across the water, the East German people prepared for a gala celebration commemorating forty years of life, liberty, and the pursuit of exit visas. Imagine the government’s surprise when 40,000 revelers decided to skip the festivities and party all the way into Hungary. An undaunted East German official proclaimed: “Think of all the money we’ll save on party hats!” Balance was restored finally when 40,000 Hungarians eagerly rushed into East Germany to rummage through the exiles’ drawers. Forming a famous Berlin landmark on the field, the Band salutes Glasnost, East German style, and watches the walls come tumblin’ down.
(Band forms Berlin Wall, sans barbed wire and plays “Joshua”)
Another recent milestone was the merger of Dial Lodge and the defunct Cannon Club. This will give Cannon another shot at the record for driving an eating club into the ground. No week-long parties this time, O.K. Cannon? In a related story, the Society of Women Engineers, S-W-E, and Tiger Inn have merged to form the SWETI organization. Meanwhile, Dial’s plan to move its headquarters to the old Cannon building have been delayed due to Dial’s inability to unstick the furniture from their basement floor. Forming the merger of Dial and Cannon, the Band sympathizes with their plight, and plays “I Can’t Pry You Loose.”
(Band forms ‘C – D’ and plays “I Can’t Turn You Loose”)
Today’s most important milestone, however, involves the number 1000. The Band was going to form a numerical 1000, but we would stand a better chance of forming a script “Ohio State.” So, when in the Ivy League, do as the Romans did, shown here. Please direct your attention to midfield, as the Band forms:
(Band forms an ‘M’ and flashcards below it read ‘A THOUSAND’)
Riding off into the sunset, the Band salutes 75 years of Tiger Football at Palmer Stadium, and demonstrates our favorite happy ending.
(The ‘M’ changes into a ‘W’ and the flashcards flip to read ‘TIGERS WIN’ then band plays “Ride of the Valkyries”)
Wagner: six letters. Palmer: six letters. Coincidence? You decide.

Please direct your attention to midfield, as the Band forms:
- The number of games played at Princeton stadiums
- The number of muggings outside of Fordham’s stadium
- The number of Harvard alumni it takes to screw in a lightbulb
- The number of Princeton alumni it takes to rule the world, and
- The number of points of light in a certain Yale alum’s pipe dream
