Yale 1967
Yale at Princeton
November 18th, 1967
Princeton loses 7-29
Ladies and gentlemen, the Princeton Band takes a long, hard look at the Princeton Band.
“The Spirit of 76”
The first Princeton Band was a small, but spirited group. Football came first to the Ivy League and the football band came first to Princeton. That first Tiger Marching Band developed that precision-style halftime show which has continued to dominate at some schools.
(Quick-step parody)
But changing times require leadership, and thus the Princeton Band was the first to develop the satirical type shows which certain bands attempt to imitate. We recall that moment ten years ago when the Band saluted the great character of the Greek drama, Oedipus. Forming an eternal triangle, we hear Oedipus complain…
“I Want a Girl”
In more recent times the Band has examined everything from local campus issues to literature, such as Fanny Hill, a classic piece of art. Forming a hill we are reminded of the encouraging philosophy contained in the body of that work, for whenever the heroine was down she was always looking up.
“Climb Every Mountain”
Finally we note the Princeton Band’s most recent contribution to halftime shows, the rule that all shows must be previewed before they are presented. In the spirit of that rule, we salute our visiting school and their handling of the problem of coeducation. Forming a Y that could find no tail, we note however, that even with the union with Vassar, the Yalie will probably still complain
“I Can’t Get No Satisfaction” (Band forms ‘V’)
(Show not performed due to rain)
