Yale 1988
Princeton at Yale
November 12th, 1988
Outcome Unknown
The Princeton University Band salutes the board games of life — Ivy League style.
“Princeton Forward”
We hope you are enjoying this week’s Ivy contest. Football is a great game, but the Band has always excelled at more childish forms of entertainment. Our latest craze is Pictionary. It’s a game that fulfills all of our exhibitionist tendencies. OK Band, go to it. (Band forms a square within which a few Band members scramble) OK, don’t tell me, Band, let me guess. It’s uh, uh, a tiger. No, a, uh, bulldog. Uh, uh, a tiger eating a bulldog? No, its, a, uh, uh, a thousand points of light. No wait, I got it, I got it, I know, its the face of God!
“Proud Mary” (Band forms the face of God)
We’ve been on the wrong side of the law so often in Connecticut that for once we would like to take a stab at stopping crime with the boardgame Clue. Murder is never pretty, but then again, neither is New Haven. The victim: A bulldog, strangled by its own tail. Who could have done this dirty deed? Was it Professor Plum in the library with a candlestick? Was it Colonel Mustard in the bedroom with Miss Peacock? No — you’re wrong, it was Benno Schmidt in his office with an eggbeater. Saluting the Yale President’s weapon of choice, the Band plays “Mack the Eggbeater” and tells Yale to get a clue.
“Mack the Knife” (Band forms a question mark)
Without a doubt, the Band’s favorite game is Twister. We don’t have any more jello, and we’re fully clothed, but we’ll try and play it anyways. (Four large colored circles are put on the field)
OK — Band on Red (Band runs to red circle) Band on Yellow (Band runs to yellow circle) Flutes on Blue (Flutes run to blue circle) Trombones on Flutes Clarinets on Drums DM’s on Drum Major Trumpets in Tubas
AAAAAAGGGHHHHHH!!!! Stop it! Stop it!! It’s only funny until someone loses a tuba. (Band yells, “And then it’s really funny!”) OK — get it together, and let’s twist a little closer, Band.
“Twist and Shout” (Band is in concert shell as a result of Twister game)
And now, speaking of trivial pursuits, here’s the Yale Band.
