Dartmouth vs. Princeton, 11/20/93 (Away)

 

PREGAME

And Now one of two bands in the Ivy League here today that hopes that Quakers just can't score, the Dartmouth College Marching Band!

BAND DOWNFIELD TO DT-1

As part of the kinder, gentler Dartmouth College Marching Band, we are going to be nice to Princeton in this pregame show. After all, Princeton's in New Jersey, so they have enough to worry about. We even shared the Ivy Title with them last year. They're very good at sharing. Princetonians aren't that bad; despite their poor taste in clothes, they used U. Penn as a safety school just like we did. The Educational Testing Service is in Princeton; they're the nice people who make the SAT's, something U. Penn students don't know very much about. Princeton's mascot, Tony the Tiger tastes much better and stays more crispy in milk than Quaker oatmeal. In fact, we dislike U. Penn so much that we're going to play Princeton's song now.

HALFTIME

And now the only marching band in the Ivy League that refused to yield when the players tried to take the field, the Dartmouth College Marching Band!

BAND DOWNFIELD TO DT-1

At Princeton they don't have fraternities, they have eating clubs. We were wondering what exactly an eating club is. Maybe it's something like The Club™, but instead of protecting your car it's an anti-theft device for food? Does that mean that the Hair Club for men is a big red metal toupée? Does Friday Night Dance Club guard against moshing? What about the Player's Club? Does that keep you from being annoyed by Telly Savalas? Would a baby seal Club protect the baby seals? We don't even want to think about what the Jockey Club protects against. Watch now as the band forms The Club™ and plays Gimme Some Clubbin'.

THE CLUB™ GIMME SOME LOVIN'

Well, not to get sentimental or anything, but this is the last football game of the year. We would like to take this time now to present the DCMB seniors, the wonderful class of 1994.

Bryan Comite enjoys lots of sax. He comes to a lot of games, but doesn't always remember them. He harbors a ridiculous dream of actually getting a job.

DCMB president, Melissa "Beave-it-to" Leaver is a lame duck who likes blowing horns and firmly believes in the old saying about a bird in the hand.

DCMB criminal, er conductor Ross Nova is into being arrested. He's 4'11", 6' with stepladder and really enjoys beating his arms up and down.

That long haired freaky person in white, DCMB Drum Major Dan Polta is just another joe seeking a fellow member of the Addams family. He's still looking for a formal date if anyone is interested. And no, he's not drunk, he just acts that way.

Former Green Key Rep Julie Snook also enjoys her Sax.

Finally, Big Sam Stoddard is a social woman, or DCMB Social Chair to be more precise. She enjoys breakfast in Band and really knows how to handle her clarinet.

We'd also like to thank our faculty director Max Culpepper, for making it through ten years of the DCMB without killing any of us, Dartmouth College Athletic Commissioner Dick Jaeger for kindly editing our shows for us, and finally all of the fans who actually laughed at our jokes this year.

Watch now as the band forms a 94 in honor of our seniors and plays pomp and circumstance, DCMB style.

'94 POMP 5-0

Speaking of editing our shows, we now present the Top 10 censored top 10 lists that the DCMB has come up with over the years. It's not too hard to see why some of these were rejected.

10) The top 10 methods of contraception at Holy Cross.

9) Top 10 things we've smelled in a frat basement.

8) Top 10 re-attachable body parts.

7) Top 10 Amish women we think are hot.

6) Top 10 blatant ethnic slurs.

5) Top 10 outtakes from the Barney TV show.

4) We regret to inform you that number four has been [BEEP].

3) The Top 10, er, top 5, er, top 3 things the SA has done for us lately.

2) Top 10 animals besides sheep that other Ivy League bands talk about when they come to Hanover.

And the number one DCMB top 10 list that got rejected,

1) The top 10 reasons to go to Princeton.

Watch now as the band forms bunny ears and plays the theme to the Muppet Show.

BUNNY EARS MUPPET SHOW

Thank you all for a great 1993 season. See you next year!

PREGAME

And Now... one of TWO bands in the Ivy League that really hope the Quaker offense holds a SILENT meeting today, the Dartmouth College Marching Band!

BAND DOWNFIELD TO DT-1

The DCMB would like to welcome Princeton to Hanover for today's game. But since both teams have their attention on Penn today, we thought we'd follow suit. Sorry, Tigers, but we're going to ignore you for the next few minutes. You can go back to watching Frosted Flakes commercials to improve your self-esteem. Meanwhile, we'll take a look at the Penn "Yes, We Really Are Part of the Ivy League" Quakers. While Frosted Flakes are bad enough, we are really forced to wonder about a school that is directly associated with oatmeal-spokesman Wilfred Brimley. Are Penn students supposed to believe that they go to a safety school because "It's the right thing to do?" Does Penn offer chemistry courses like "instant breakfast 101" with exams in stove-top, microwave, and bunsen-burner preparation? We're not sure, but the concept of chugging oatmeal intrigues us However, since we couldn't find an arrangement of the Rolling Stone's "Brown Sugar," we decided to seranade Princeton with one of their songs in the hopes that they will stop pouting.

And now... the only band in the Ivy League that wonders if Barney the Dinosaur and Barney Rubble knew each other, the Dartmouth College Marching Band!

BAND DOWNFIELD TO DT-1

Since this is the last game of the season, the DCMB would like to take this opportunity to bid a fond farewell to our seniors. These people will soon be out in the real world looking for places to live, jobs, and most importantly, DATES! To aid them in their post-graduate studies, we offer the following personal ads, free of charge, for our graduating members:

Ross Nova: Single, white, male, 4' 11" (with the shoes), seeks attractive female interested in men who wave their arms a lot. Must be compassionate, romantic, and willing to lug around a step-ladder.

Dan Polta: This guy has more than just a "Joe" Average. Seeks other members of the Addams Family for milk-drinking, baton twirling, and naval contemplation. Must be available for tonight's formal.

Melissa "Beave it to" Leaver: Lame duck, seeing drake who shares interest in domination, horn-blowing, and the old saying "A bird in the hand..."

Watch now as the DCMB forms a [something] and plays [something] in honor of the seniors.

SECOND FORMATION SECOND SONG

The DCMB would like to congratulate the Princeton band on playing it safe this hunting season and wearing "safety orange" to today's game. And speaking of safety, the DCMB was wondering whether an eating club is in fact an anti-theft device for food? If so, we would like to suggest several other additions to the "club" line of anti-theft devices. The Hair Club for Men would obviously be for the protection of wigs, toupés, and rabbits. The Joy Luck Club could protect your artsy films and literature from the enlightened thief. The Zamphir fan club would ensure that these people never have any offspring. The Friday Night Dance Club could protect against raving moshers, who are probably just furious at their barbers, and the baby seal club could protect these lovable creatures (the seals, not the moshers) from a life of boredom and blubber. Watch now as the band forms [something] and plays [something].

THIRD FORMATION THIRD SONG

Since it is the last game of the season, the DCMB would like to give you, our loving fans, a behind-the-scenes look at what goes into producing a half-time show.

In order to let you appreciate what you have been saved from, we bring you The Top 10 Rejected Top Ten Lists:

10) Top 10 items removed from the human body.

9) Top 10 methods of raising gophers for fun and profit.

8) Top 10 episodes of the Brady Bunch.

7) Top 10 dead baby jokes.

6) Top 10 Commandments.

5) Top 10 Reasons to go to Princeton well, actually Top 5 no, make that top 3 actually, just forget it.

4) We regret to inform you that number four has been rejected.

3) Top 10 Amish women we think are hot.

2) Top 10 methods of contraception at Holy Cross.
