Penn 1987
Princeton at Penn
October 31st, 1987
Outcome Unknown
Ladies and gentlemen, Welcome to Franklin Field, where it’s Christmas in October and snow is everywhere…
“Princeton Forward” (Band, dressed in white bags, “ghosts or snow, whichever” marches out)
Twas the month before Christmas, and all through Philly, both Rizzo and Goode were feeling quite silly; Their supporters were covered with the mud they’d been slinging and they’d all gone deaf from the songs they’d been singing: “Wilson B. Goode” and “Rizzo Uber Alles,” were the tunes the campaigners cried out full of malice. Then what to the weary electorate should appear, But an orange and black band, a tiger, some beer. With a message of hope, of music, of mirth, “Get out of Philadelphia, there’s nicer places on earth!” Forming the political middle of the road, the Band reminds you that voting and driving don’t mix.
“Hit the Road, Jack” (Band forms dotted line)
Like elections, the Olympics come but once in four years. America’s young atheletes are tingling with anticipation, but since the US government provides no funding, they must take the job of soliciting funds into their own hands. The US Olympic Committee has hired Don King, boxing promoter extraordinhairy, to head the “Victory Seoul” tour, featuring Michael Jackson as the Olympic Flame. In related news, Jackson has offered $15 million for Jesse Owens’ skeleton, only to be outbid by Lisa Lisa. Jim and Tammy Bakker have donated the proceeds from the sale of the doghouse, while John DeLorean pledged $500,000 dollars the the Winter Olympics, only to withdraw his offer when he realized he’d misunderstood that while the atheletes skiied on snow, they skiied on top of the snow. Even the Band, always athletic supporters, gets into the act. Forming our favorite events — the bobsled, rhythmic gymnastics and a new event for 1988, synchronized snow angels, the Band plays the Olympic theme.
“Olympic Theme”(Band splits into groups performing bobsledding, rhythmic gymnastics, and synchronized snow angels)
Oh no Band! You’ve skipped a few pages on the holiday calendar. It’s Halloween, not Christmas! What are you going to wear? OK, you could just go as ghosts…you are wearing white sheets. But why not trick-or-treat in a slightly more exotic costume, such as:
a) Homer Hankies
b) Icicles
c) mini-marshmallows
d) Elmers Glue-Stix
e)
f) the Penn band
Forming 1/3 of Frosty the Snowman on the field, the Band reminds you that if the snow isn’t white, this must be Philadelphia.
