Princeton at Penn
November 3rd, 1979
Princeton wins 38-10
Ladies and gentlemen, the Princeton University Band takes a long, hard look at Using Your Imagination.
“Princeton Forward”
Everyone who lives in Philadelphia uses their imagination; mostly to imagine they are living somewhere else, like Palm Springs, Miami Beach, or Pittsburgh. So why don’t you use yours too? Imagine that instead of freezing here today, you are in that fertile, floral paradise: the Garden State of New Jersey.
“Where Have All the Flowers Gone?” (Band forms a flower)
Everyone in Philadelphia also imagines that their beloved mayor Rizzo will actually leave office when his term expires. The mayor himself is planning, with his friends Vito, Luigi, and Don Corleone to have Philadelphia secede from the Union and form the Grand Duchy of Rizzolio, based on truth, pasta, and the Sicilian way. The Band, however, has found that the mayor will be taking a new position in a noted state institution.
“America (from West Side Story)” (Band forms the bars of a prison)
Penn students use their imagination a lot too. And it takes a lot of imagination to believe that Penn is in the Ivy league. There’s also the imaginary Penn ice hockey team, the imaginary Penn radio station, and of course the imaginary Penn football team.
“Confidence” (Band forms a football)
Imagine that this is Big-Time football. You’re watching the first all-Ivy League Rose Bowl. And here is the world famous, All-American, 250-strong, Princeton University Marching Band.
“Marcho Grandioso” (Band forms a ‘P’)
Now, for your own good, try to imagine that the Penn band is not playing here today.
