Penn 1962
Princeton at Penn
October 13th, 1962
Princeton wins 21-8
Ladies and gentlemen: Confidently neglecting practice this week, the Princeton University Marching Band flicks-out to a double feature. The lights in the theatre darken, and the Band sits back as the newsreel cameras focus on Ol’ Mississippi, where we observe Governor Ross Barnett casting envious glances at the segregated school system of South Carolina. Governor Barnett is heard to say:
“Nothin’ Could Be Finer Than To Be In Carolina” (Band forms newsreel camera)
The theatre rocks with laughter at a cartoon depicting the hilarious misadventures of a University of Pennsylvania undergraduate.
“Mickey Mouse March” (Band forms mouse head)
The first feature, West Side Story, proves memorable to the Tiger Band. Under a New York bridge, two local civic groups engage in spirited debate.
“Hail, Hail, the Gang’s All Here” (Band forms dagger)
The second feature is an incisive sociological analysis of young love. The Tiger Band comes back with its popcorn just as Professor Humbert Humber is saying to Lolita…
“Thank Heaven for Little Girls” (Band forms heart-shaped lollipop)
