Penn 1978
Penn at Princeton
November 4th, 1978
Princeton wins 21-0
Ladies and gentlemen, the Princeton University Marching Band takes a long, hard look at Things That Begin With “P.”
“Princeton Forward”
Princeton’s proctors provide protection for prudent Princetonians. It is these men’s responsibility to see that the students are protected, and all are experienced in the techniques of personal protection. Saluting the proctors’ selfless outpouring of their resources, the band forms Prospect Garden on the field and notes that 200% polyester leisure with contrast stitching add a touch of class to these proud protectors.
“Hey Look Me Over” (Band forms a flower)
One of the most popular P’s on campus is the Pub. It derives its popularity from its many special events including: the well-attended Nerd Night, Orgo Night featuring four-colored beer, USG Night with free reserved beer for 25 USG members, and Boiler Repair Night featuring no heat and no hot water. The Band forms:
a) Pitcher
b) Pretzel
c) Popcorn
d) Pizza
e)A Pulverized Potty
f) the USG
“Hail, Hail the Gang’s All Here” (Band forms a blob)
Four score minus seven years ago, Princeton said, “Let there be an Honor Code” and God said, “It is good.” Since that time, students have feared the brand of the scarlet letter letter — P for Plagiarism. When in the course of human events, it becomes necessary for students to write papers, professors cry out, “Give me footnotes, or I give you F!” While many students regret that they have but one footnote to give for their papers, others are proud to say, “I came, I saw, I copied.” Whether ’tis nobler to suffer the slings and arrows of a bad paper or to take lines against a sea of criticism, the student must decide, as the band forms a possible consequence.
“Wipeout” (Band forms the letter ‘F’)
Our last “P” is one which has occupied your mind, infiltrated your senses, invaded your thoughts, and provoked your humor. Listen now as this “P,” the Princeton University Band, plays the “Liberty Bell March.”
“Liberty Bell March” (Band forms a concert shell and marches off at the trio)
