Dartmouth vs. Harvard, 10/30/93 (Home)

 

PREGAME

And Now the only band in the Ivy League that thinks it's Ethel Merman [insert announcer singing here], the Dartmouth College Marching Band!

BAND DOWNFIELD TO DT-1

A long time ago, on a network far away, TALK SHOW WARS began! Chevy Chase is gone, and new Late Night host, Harvard grad Conan O'Brien is floundering in the ratings. Sorry Conan, maybe you should have gone to a better college, like Ball State in Indiana, alma mater of Dave Letterman. Speaking of alma maters, the DCMB would like to welcome all the Dartmouth alumni back to Hanover. We also welcome all the Harvard students and alumni. We built a small signal fire for you on the green last last night. Hope it helped you find the campus! Give a rouse with a will now as the DCMB salutes Harvard by playing their song.

REVERSE CONCERT FORMATION HARVARD SONG

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 that Pete Pooma's All-Star Swingin' Polka Band and Accordion Orchestra came dressed as the Harvard band for Halloween, the Dartmouth College Marching Band!

The DCMB would like to welcome all the Dartmouth alumni back to the Hanover plain, and thank them for all the financial support they have given us. Now please welcome all the Band almuni as they join us on the field.

Well, we all know that Harvard isn't the most exciting school in the Ivy League. In fact, downright boring springs to mind when the Crimson is mentioned. Here are the top ten wild, wacky things that Harvard students do to pretend they have lives:

10) Wash the green paint off the statue of John Harvard

9) Alphabetize their sock drawers, the R drawer of course would be empty.

8) Think up snappy comebacks to "Harvard Sucks" cheers

7) Heckle street mimes

6) Go to those wild parties at M.I.T.

5) Camp out overnight for Zamfir tickets

4) We regret to inform you that number four is floating in Boston Harbor.

3) Sit around looking at themselves in mirrors and doing twelve step programs: I'm good enough, I'm smart enough, and gosh darn it, people like me! And I could have gotten in to Dartmouth, really!

2) Knit and stuff.

And the number one thing that Harvard students do to improve their social lives, 1) Transfer

Watch now as the band forms Zamfir's Pan Flute and plays that western classic, Hang 'em High.

THIRD FORMATION HANG 'EM HIGH
