Dartmouth vs. Cornell, 10/23/93 (Home)

 

Historical Note: The original Cornell show had to be changed because the Cornell Band didn't show up due to housing difficulties. This is why some of the material was recycled and one segment changed completely.-Alex Nikas '95

PREGAME

And now the only band in the Ivy League that thinks Ezra Cornell is an even more ridiculous name than Eleazar Wheelock, the Dartmouth College Marching Band!

The Children of the Cornell, the Big Red Bears have traveled here all the way from Long Island uh Ithaca today and we'd like to give them a warm welcome by playing their favorite song.

REVERSE CONCERT FORMATION CORNELL SONG

Well, enough about da Bears, let's talk about da Bulls. Basketball great Michael Jordan has recently announced his retirement. Jordan said that with his new free time he plans to drink more Gatorade, sign more shoes, join the hair club for men, and play on a pro-golf tour. Actually, he's just retiring because his playing keeps getting in the way of his gambling. Watch now as the band forms an official Nike Air Jordan golf shoe and plays Big Spender.

SHOE BIG SPENDER

Please rise as student conductor Ross Nova leads the band in the playing of the Dartmouth College Alma Mater and remain standing as DCMB faculty director Max Culpepper conducts the national anthem.

HALFTIME

And Now the only band in the Ivy League that thinks the Big Red plus the Big Green makes the Big Brown, the Dartmouth College Marching Band!

 

BAND DOWNFIELD TO DT-1

Last week, the Cornell Marching Band was busy surrounding the Russian Parliament. Casualty reports from the crisis in Russia are just in: the Big Red band has lost its sense of rhythm, sense of pitch, and sense of humor. Further reports indicate that if you unscrew the top half of the Cornell drum major, you will find an identical, smaller drum major inside. Watch now as the DCMB forms a sickle and plays the theme to James Bond.

Insert revision here:

Well, it seems the Cornell Marching band got lost somewhere on their way here, so once again the DCMB is the only band in this stadium with the courage to take the field. Maybe there are just too many scenic rest stops between Ithaca and Hanover. Perhaps the hotel school students got into an argument with the owner of the Motel 9. Or maybe they got lost at the beginning and end of nowhere, because if Hanover is in the middle of nowhere, then where the heck is Ithaca? For those of you who have never seen the Cornell band, just picture a large battalion from the Russian army. Watch now as the DCMB forms a sickle and plays the theme to James Bond.

SICKLE JAMES BOND

In order to make the Cornell band feel at home, we bring you the news from Long Island: Joey Buttafuoco finally pleaded guilty to having sexual relations with Amy Fisher. In other surprising news, scientists predicted yesterday that the sun would rise this morning and discovered that the Earth really is round. Finally, the surgeon general has determined that smoking may be hazardous to your health. Strangely enough Nostradamus predicted all of these things hundreds of years ago. Watch now as the band forms Nostradamus's extending telescope and plays Pretty Woman in honor of Amy Fisher.

NOSTRADAMUS' TELESCOPE PRETTY WOMAN

 

The Nobel peace prize was announced recently, going to Mandela and DeKlerk. The word from the middle east is that Yasir Arafat is really bitter. What would Yasir have done with the prize if he had won? Here are the top ten things:

10) Buy a new razor blade

9) Waste away all the money calling 1-900 numbers

8) Buy weapons from the Cornell band or Sponsor and enter a Ringo Starr look alike contest.

7) Buy a country for the PLO

6) Renew his subscription to soldier of fortune

5) Join the shriners

4) We regret to inform you that number four has been hijacked to West Lebanon.

3) Put all the lights in his tent on the clapper

2) Market a brand new line of PLO action figures, complete with real explosives.

And the number one: Yasir Arafat, you've just won the Nobel Peace Prize, what are you going to do next?

1) I'm going to Disneyland!

Watch now as the band forms a peace symbol in honor of Yasir and plays the New World Order Symphony.

PEACE SYMBOL NEW WORLD

Thank you all for coming to today's game. We hope to see you all next week for Homecoming and Hahvahd. Tootle-ooh!
