Princeton at Yale
November 6th, 1976
Princeton loses 7-39
Ladies and gentlemen, the Princeton University Marching Band takes a long, hard look at Metamorphoses.
“Princeton Forward”
“This Could Be the Start of Something Big” (Band forms male symbol — a circle with an arrow.)
Of course, the most important physiological change in Yale history came quite recently, when Richard Raskin changed into Rene Richards, and became the first woman ever to graduate from Yale. By the way, is it true that Rene Richards plays tennis without Spauldings?
“Gonna Wash That Man Right Out of My Hair” (Band forms two balls which turn into a tennis racquet)
And now, in a display of its incredible versatility, the Band changes itself into a variety of things. Forming first a cantaloupe, next a softball, third a full moon, and finally a Yalie from the top.
(After each formation the Band plays “Ta Da” chord a step higher, scatters, and reforms a circle, except the last time when it forms a square.)
And now, for the most amazing trick of all, the Band turns itself into musicians. “Tiger Rag” “Orange and the Black” (Band forms concert shell)
FLASH, Eli Yale awoke one morning from troubled dreams to find himself transformed into a monstrous vermin. “Well,” he said, “that’s better than a bulldog!”
(Escape line – in the event that oranges are thrown: We are sorry that the Band is forced to leave the field, and call attention to the maturity and consideration of the Yalies. We are disappointed but not suprised.)
