Yale 2016
Princeton at Yale
November 12th, 2016
Princeton wins 31-3
Pre-Game:
Rip in spaghetti, never forgetti…it’s the Princeton University Band!
[Band scrambles onto the field]
Our fearless leader, Leea Driskell, recently messed up her knee…doing…no one really knows what. We were really curious as to what happened, though, so we compiled a list of all the possible events that could have caused her injury:
[Band forms an L and plays Children of Sanchez teaser into You Can Call Me Al]
We only tease, but we really do love the commander of our ranks and we support her in all the fights she has for us. Whether the fight is about missing her yearly rewatch of Gilmore Girls, or that she has run out of cheese (primarily Brie), Leea brings the heat. This is really convenient when one of her favorite pastimes is baking! Though we wish she had little pupper we could all play with (Preferably a corgi-husky) (actually tho), we do really love her cookies and pastries. Forming two cookies, pastries, or bags of trash on the field the band now plays Sweet Baked Goods.
[Band forms two circles and plays Sweet Caroline]
Run away b-…or rather…take me away boys.
Halftime:
I’ve been scraping the bottom for a while now…it’s the Princeton University Band!
[Band marches on to Princeton Forward March]
Where are we? Yale? You mean Yale Illinois? No, Yale Iowa. Sorry, Yale Kansas. Yale Michigan? Mississippi? Ohio? Oklahoma? South Dakota? Virginia? Washington? Yale township Nebraska? Ah, you must mean Yale, the light rail station in the RTD service of Denver, Colorado. Still no? Well wherever we are, I guess this is the 13th best Yale in the country. In either case, we’re still in the middle of the rankings—sorry, the middle of finding a new mascot—dang, the middle of nowhere!
[Band forms “muppet crumbs” and plays The Middle]
We heard Yale was in the middle of trying to find a new mascot and we figured we would offer some suggestions. You could be the Yale Snails since you always come in last. I suppose you could be the Yale Whales as you’re always too big and slow to win. Ooooo, you could be the Yale Pales, though we aren’t asking what you’d be filled with! I think the Yale Kale would be fitting because no one really likes you, but some people pretend to. Ah! The yale bail; useful for getting out of jail. My personal favorite is the Yale waaaaaaaaaaaail. Cause life is just that bad here. Of course, if none of these options suit you, you could go with your state bird; the robin! Though…between you and me, since you’re in New Haven, you might wanna be the Robin Hood…
[Band forms “bird” and plays Robin Hood]
And now, on behalf of Princeton University Band Head Manager Eli Tettelbach, Potentate of Pizza and Baron of Buses; Conductor Michael Torre III, Oligarch of Orchestration and Maharajah of Music; Drum Major Jonkyle Goldman, Sultan of Scripts and Duke of Dancing; and President Leea Driskell, Sovereign of "Same" and Regina of "RIP," this is your announcer, Noah Hastings, Shah of Shouting and Kaiser of Copying, signing off. Right, so if we can all just pretend that Squidward was a fireman, or some guy in an ambulance, then I'm sure that we can all pull together and discover what it truly means to be in a marching band.”
Run away band, our Elis will always be better.

Our fearless leader, Leea Driskell, recently messed up her knee…doing…no one really knows what. We were really curious as to what happened, though, so we compiled a list of all the possible events that could have caused her injury:
- Tripping and falling while chasing the love of her life: the corgi
- Cookie baking…to the extreme (can you imagine)
- Racing to steal Broadway tickets from other residential colleges
- Attempting to stave off boredom sitting at her job at Frist
- Rehashing an old injury from rugby
- The Penn Band (3real5me)
- Jumping in a bounce castle…nah, those are for kids. We’ll leave the bounce castles to the children of L.
