Penn 1975
Penn at Princeton
October 25th, 1975
Princeton loses 20-24
Pregame
Ladies and Gentlemen,… the Princeton University Marching Band!!
“Cannon Song”
Noting that union walkouts have forced the shutdown of Penn’s Food Services and Libraries, the Band invites the audience to join in a… “Strike On, Pennsylvania”
“Fight on Pennsylvania”
And now for a real “P”! “Going Back”
Halftime
Ladies and gentlemen, the Princeton University Marching “Yankee Doodle, It’s a Dandy” Band presents three long hard…Bicentennial minutes.
“Princeton Forward”
The Band first salutes the venerable Dr. Benjamin Franklin and some of his most eccentric and least-known inventions, like the gas…television, the Learjet, and…the University of Pennsylvania. Speaking of inventions…historians assert that Franklin has 13 illegitimate children…one for each colony, but couldn’t keep up…the pace when Vermont entered…the Union. The Band sadly notes that Ben couldn’t make it…all the way to Hawaii.
“California Here I Come” (Band forms XIII -> XIV)
Speaking of illegitimate children, everyone knows that George Washington, the Father of Our Country, slept here…and there…and was considered a Revolutionary inspiration to the…Mothers of our country. During those long, hard years away from Martha, George constantly looked to Mount…Vernon. Forming grapes of wrath on the field, the Band recalls the General’s rousing….words after his stomping victory at Martha’s Vineyard: I came, I saw, I…concord.
“How Dry I Am” (Band forms grapes)
And now, in an eye-popping presentation of patriotic pageantry, the Band invites everyone to join us in the singing of one of those great old colonial toe-tappers:
“Yankee Doodle” (Band forms 1776)
Yankee Doodle came to town Riding on a pony, Stuck a…feather in his…cap And called it macaroni. Yankee Doodle…keep it up. Yankee Doodle Dandy. Mind the music and the step, And with the girls be…handy.
