San Diego 2017

San Diego at Princeton
September 16th, 2017
Princeton wins 27-17


Pregame:
Coming on the field for another year, it’s the Princeton University Band!

[Band enters field playing Princeton Cannon Song]

Another new school year! That means new freshmen! We have some advice for all you new kids! First, the USD freshmen. Due to cutbacks, all engineering classes will now take place at Legoland. Gym classes will now be moved to the southern border where you can scale a wall. Firefighting suits are now mandatory for ALL students. For practical purposes, the fire alarms around campus are ALWAYS going off. Hopefully if you follow all these measures, you won’t be consumed by the great balls of fire that can plague California.

[Band forms two circles and plays Great Balls of Fire]

Now for the Princeton freshmen. We’ve consulted all of the important heads here on campus, even Eisgruber himself and they’ve come to a consensus. The only piece of advice you need is to join the Band and to learn how to form a double-double-rotating P!

[Band forms the double double rotating P and plays Going Back to Nassau Hall]

[Announcer will tell people to look to the sky and say the Band will play Banner]

[Band plays Banner and The Final Countdown]

 
Halftime:
Nuclear winter is coming…it’s the Princeton University Band!

[Band marches on to Princeton Forward March]

The sunny, scintillating, sprightly city of San Diego. We only see you once every 3, maybe even 10 years! What can we even say we know about you? Well for one thing, we know that the University of San Diego doesn’t even have a BAND to play for them! We also learned that the San Diego Chargers no longer belong to San Diego! They actually moved to Los Angeles which means that we are currently playing the best football team in San Diego! And of course we know about California’s secret desire to secede from the United States. Your band? Gone. Your football team? Gone. Even the whole state of California could be gone, gone, gone by the time you get back there. What could be worse?!?!

[Band forms California and plays Gone Gone Gone]

Alright, alright well let’s talk about some more positive things about San Diego by naming some fun facts! Did you know that San Diego is the avocado capital of the United States? The city is also home to the world’s oldest active sailing ship! Oooh and that reminds me that San Diego is also the one of the closest US naval bases to Korea!! Hmmm, well given the state of affairs today, maybe that one isn’t such a fun fact. I haven’t seen such an anxious load of men at sea since that one time I heard my roommate come through the door!

[Band forms a mushroom cloud and plays 99 Red Balloons]

Run away Band, the DRPK is firing missiles.
