Dartmouth vs. Princeton, 11/23/96 (Away)

by Tim Redl

Note: There is no half-time show this week... the folks from Princeton cut it out to make room for their dedication to Palmer Stadium, which will be torn down after this season

PRE-GAME

And now... the only band in the Ivy League that can say it plays for the 1996 IVY LEAGUE CHAMPION FOOTBALL TEAM... the Dartmouth College Marching Band!!!

BAND DOWNFIELD TO DT-1

Good afternoon everybody! We're glad you could join us here today at historic Palmer Stadium in breathtaking Princeton, New Jersey, as the Ivy League Champion Big Green of Dartmouth look to wrap up an undefeated season at 10-0 with a victory over the Princeton Tigers.

Today marks the final game ever to be played at Palmer Stadium. Built back in 1914, the structure will be torn down after this season. It seems that the stadium has been crumbling even faster than Princeton's football team this year! How's life been in the Ivy League basement, guys? Hmm.. let's see... what other things here at Princeton would we like to see torn down??? How about the storage room that holds that God-awful orange and black plaid material used to make the Princeton Band's uniforms? Or maybe even the Princeton Athletic Department office? After all, they actually had the nerve to cut out our half-time show this week in favor of a tribute to their collapsing stadium. Wow, what a half-time combination it's going to be... The Princeton Band and A Palmer Stadium Tribute! A perfect time to head out to the bathrooms and concessions stands, folks... but you'll have to avoid the mad rush!

Watch now as the Band forms Palmer Stadium collapsing and plays "Na Na Hey Hey Goodbye"...

PALMER STADIUM "NA NA HEY HEY GOODBYE"

As we all know, the Big Green captured its 17th Ivy League Championship last week up at Providence with a thrilling 27-24 victory over Brown last week (woo hoo!), and this afternoon we've got an little unfinished business to take care of down here at Princeton. You may remember that last year, Princeton kicked a game-tying field goal against Dartmouth in the closing seconds last year to steal the Ivy League Championship up in Hanover. We in the DCMB would just like to say, "What a difference a year makes!" We'll be picking up that trophy on our way home this year, thank you very much!

Please rise as the lovely and talented Karen "I am standing up! I am standing up!" Wenner leads the Band in the playing of the Dartmouth College Alma Mater...

CONCERT FORMATION ALMA MATER

The DCMB would like to thank you all for attending today's game, and all our games this season. We'll see you again in 1997, as Dartmouth proudly defends its Ivy League crown.
