Dartmouth vs. Harvard, 11/02/96 (Away)
*Harvard 11/2/96 - Tim Redl
PRE-GAME
And now... the only band in the Ivy League that thinks it would rather go to
the Bermuda Triangle than the Harvard Square, the Dartmouth College Marching
Band!!!
BAND DOWNFIELD TO DT-1
Good afternoon everybody! The DCMB is very excited to be back at Harvard
again this year. Well actually, we’re lying. Life at Harvard seems to be just as
exciting as watching paint dry. Ok, ok... we take that back... watching paint
dry is much more exciting. Anyway, it seems that this year, Yale replaced
Harvard as #1 in US News & World Report’s annual college ranking. Oh no, what
are Harvard students going to do now? First they had to tell their parents that
they have no social lives, and now this! I am sure that Mommy and Daddy will
not be happy! The DCMB would like to salute all the Harvard Mommies and
Daddies here for Parents’ Weekend by playing your school song, “The 10,000 Men
of Harvard (Who Wished They’d Gone To Dartmouth)”...
REVERSE CONCERT FORMATION 10K MEN OF HARVARD
Please rise as Student Conductor Karen "Way Back" Wenner leads the Band
in the playing of the Dartmouth College Alma Mater...

And now, the only band in the Ivy League that thinks... the Dartmouth College
Marching Band!!!
BAND DOWNFIELD TO DT-1

Put the costumes and candy away, folks - Halloween ‘96 is now a memory. Wait!
It seems that several guys sitting over there in the Harvard student section
don’t realize that Halloween is over, and are still wearing their
costumes. Don’t you see them? They’re the ones dressed as nerds. Oh wait... I
don’t think those are costumes! So what have people been wearing this year?
Several Harvard students were seen dressing up as professors... there just don’t
seem to be any of them around here, you know? And get this... just the other
day, we heard the Harvard Band was wearing green blazers around campus, trying
to pass for a marching band with talent! Nice try, guys! But even on Halloween
you don’t stand a ghost of a chance!
Watch now as the Band forms a ghost for Halloween and plays the theme from..
what else? “Ghostbusters”
GHOST “GHOSTBUSTERS”

November 5th is only a few days away, and you know what that means - it's
almost Election Day! Do you know who you're voting for come this Tuesday?
Who do you think will be our President for the next 4 years? Will Bubba
Clinton win re-election, or will the Republicans and Great-Grandpa Dole take
over the White House? Or might Ross Perot defy all odds and pull off an even
bigger shocker than the Harvard football team actually having a winning season?
Crimson faithful are just waiting for the day when Harvard alum and
Massachusetts Senator Ted Kennedy will throw his hat into the ring and run for
President. as well. But then, who would be First Lady? Or Second or Third for
that matter?!?
Watch now as the Band forms Bob Dole’s head (or a pineapple - whichever you
prefer) and plays a song that’s sure to be elected again and again, Hawaii 5-0!
BOB DOLE’S HEAD / PINEAPPLE “HAWAII 5-0”

Harvard. Home of the famous "John Harvard" statue, appropriately nicknamed
"The Statue of the Three Lies". You see, the "John Harvard" statue isn't really
of John Harvard. It also incorrectly identifies him as the founder of Harvard.
And finally, the statue gives the wrong dates for his life. You'd think the
Harvard adminstration would want to do away with this embarrassing statue... but
I guess they figure, "We've already got a school of 10,000 mistakes... 3
more couldn't possibly hurt."
The DCMB, however, has come up with the Top Ten Things To Do With The John
Harvard Statue...
#10 - Turn it into a kissing booth
#9 - Enter it as a late entry for the upcoming Presidential election -- we
hear he's a bit looser than Dole
#8 - Melt it down to make matchbox cars
#7 - Chop off its head... bowling, anyone?
#6 - Talk to it after downing a few beers and see if it talks back
#5 - Throw it into Boston Harbor with all the rest of the junk
#4 - Put it in as starting quartback for the Harvard football team -- maybe
they'd actually have a chance to win
#3 - Invite it to a party at Harvard -- he's bound to be the most social one
there
#2 - Dress it up as a Harvard student, then call it the "Statue of the 4
mistakes
and the number one thing to do with the "John Harvard" Statue
Paint it Dartmouth Green!
Watch now as the Band forms a “Y” as in “Why would anyone want to go
Harvard?” and plays Y-M-C-A...
“Y” “Y.M.C.A.”
The DCMB would like to thank all the Dartmouth faithful for attending today’s
game. Enjoy the second half, everybody! Be sure to check us out back home in
Hanover next week as the Big Green host Columbia University.

Crimson faithful are just waiting for the day when Harvard alum and
Massachusetts Senator Ted Kennedy will throw his hat into the ring and run for
President as well. But would he be able to devote enough time to the job if he
won? Uncle Teddy seems to always have his hands busy doing something else, if
you know what we mean...
Watch now as the Band forms Whitewater and plays "How the Presidency Was
Won"...
WHITEWATER “HOW THE WEST WAS WON”
