Dartmouth vs. Brown, 11/16/96 (Away)

*Brown 11/16/96 - Tim Redl

PRE-GAME

And now... the only band in the Ivy League that thinks that being "green with envy" is better than being "brown with..." well, you know... the Dartmouth College Marching Band!!!

BAND DOWNFIELD TO DT-1

Good afternoon everybody! We're glad you could join us today in scenic Providence, Rhode Island! A pretty depressing place, wouldn't you say? Almost as depressing as going to Brown, for goodness sake! At least we have an advantage over Brown students though... we get to leave at the end of the day! Anyway, the DCMB would like to welcome all the Dartmouth faithful to today's game, as your undefeated Big Green, currently ranked 19th in the nation, look to stuff and mount the Brown Bears. A victory this afternoon over Brown would put the Green at a perfect 9-0 for the season, and would make Dartmouth the undisputed 1996 Ivy League Champions! Woo hoo! The Ivy Title will once again be back up in Hanover, where we all know it rightfully belongs!

Please rise as Student Conductor Karen "Stand Up" Wenner leads the Band in the playing of the Dartmouth College Alma Mater...

HALF-TIME

And now, the only band in the Ivy League that thinks that Brown students are the ones who put the "dense" back in Providence... the Dartmouth College Marching Band!!!

BAND DOWNFIELD TO DT-1

Brown students... a rather interesting species. In fact, the words "stereotypical freak" seem to come to mind. They say there's an easy way to tell the difference between Dartmouth students and Brown students... Dartmouth students wear green sweatshirts and have brown hair, while Brown students wear Brown sweatshirts and have green hair. You know, the state of Rhode Island was founded for people who didn't fit in with the rest of society. Well, it certainly seems that Brown University was founded for the same reason!

The DCMB has to wonder... just what are these Brown students going to do after they graduate? After all, they don't have real majors, they don't take real classes, and for goodness sake, they don't even get real grades! Hey guys, good news... I hear McDonalds and Burger King are both hiring! Would you like fries with that diploma???

Watch now as the Band forms a McNugget and plays "The Chicken Dance"...

MCNUGGET "THE CHICKEN DANCE"

Strange creatures as they are, Brown students don't always appear to be as creative and original as you might expect. Take the Brown Band, for example. Every year they recycle the same stupid sheep jokes from the year before and use them in their halftime show. They'll no doubt do the same this year. Keeping this in mind, the DCMB would like to present to you a sample of what you will probably hear from the Brown Band this afternoon... sorry to ruin your show, guys!

(clear throat, speak in a high-pitched whining voice)

Good afternoon, ladies and gentlemen... and Dartmouth students (heh, heh, heh!) We are soooo glad that you folks from Dartmouth are here this afternoon, so that we could make baaaad sheep jokes for you! You guys obviously have so many sheep up in New Hampshire, and we love to make jokes about how much you Dartmouth students love them! I bet you don't find much virgin wool up at Dartmouth! Heh, heh, heh, we are so funny!

Watch now as the Band forms - what else? - a sheep! and plays "Gimme Some Lovin'"... (heh, heh, heh!)

SHEEP "GIMME SOME LOVIN"

We all know that Brown students have no friends... and so the DCMB would like to present the Top Ten Signs That You Are A Brown Student And NOBODY LIKES YOU...

#10 - Every time someone gives you his or her phone number, it begins with "555..."

#9 - You yell from the edge of the Grand Canyon, but there's no echo

#8 - You are one of the best solitaire players in the world

#7 - You walk into a video store in downtown Providence and say out loud to yourself, "Well, what do you want to rent tonight?"

#6 - Every New Year's Eve party you go to breaks up around 10pm

#5 - When playing touch football, you always seem to be "going long"

#4 - The MCI operator laughs hysterically whenever you ask about the "Friends and Family Plan"

#3 - Your parents introduce you as "an acquaintance"

#2 - Even your imaginary friend is so damn sick of your company

and the number one sign that you are a Brown student and nobody likes you ...

You are a member of the Brown University Band!

Watch now as the Band forms a friendless Brown student and plays "Twist and Shout"...

BROWN STUDENT "TWIST AND SHOUT"

The DCMB would like to thank all the Dartmouth faithful for attending today's game. Enjoy the second half, everybody! Come see us next week down in Jersey for our final game of the 1996 season as the Big Green look to tame those Tigers of Princeton!
