Yale 1975
Yale at Princeton
November 15th, 1975
Princeton loses 13-24
Pregame
Ladies and Gentlemen, as you may know, the Yale Drum Major was recently released from a New Haven prison after having been arrested for leading an unauthorized parade through the streets of New Haven. We’re glad to see him back today. And now, Ladies and Gentlemen, the Princeton University 100 Marching… pans of lasagna.
“Cannon Song”
The Band next forms a “Y” for “Why pans of lasagna?”
“Yale Medley”
Finally, the Band forms its famous rotating “P” — not, as you’d expect, for “pans of lasagna,” but for President William G. Bowen, who despite this morning’s fake newspaper, is still President of the “best damn place of all.”
“Going Back"
Halftime
Ladies and Gentlemen, the Princeton University Band takes a long, hard look at deja vu.
“Going Back”
Speaking of things we’ve seen again and again, who can forget all those TV reruns of “I Love Lucy”? It was a weekly thrill to watch the retired couple, Fred and Ethel… Mertz. And then there was adorable little Ricky, who got his natural sense of rhythm from his dad, and who by age four was already playing the… bongos. Yes indeed folks, millions of Americans glued… to their seats turned on… their sets every Monday night to watch Desi Arnez and Lucille… Ball.
“I Love Lucy”(Band forms heart with latin combo (Carmen Miranda, etc.)
Babaloo!! What else is seen time and time again? The Princeton University Band returns every week. Why do they come back to suffer the slings and arrows of outrageous… fans? Why do they come back? “Youse guys don’t tink we can march, do ya? You don’t tink we can play either? Oh yeah, well your mother wears topsiders! Watch dis!…”
“March Grandioso”
Drum Major Terry Theile ’76 has just been presented with the E. Paul DePont Memorial Band Hat. While the Band enacts this difficult formation, it seems a good time to recognize the Officers of the Princeton University Marching Band… (announcer’s clever intros)…
(Band forms script ‘Ohio’)
Didn’t tink we could do that, huh? As the balloon attempts to rise, the Band asks you to rise and join us as the Band does something you’ve never seen before: we pretend to be a band and salute those who are seen all the time and deeply appreciated, the alumni of Princeton University. Please join us in “The Orange and the Black.”
“Orange and Black” (Band forms concert shell)
