Our announcer for the year was Kevin Smith '07

9/16/2006 -- Lehigh

The band did not perform at Lehigh this year this year due to conflicts with recruiting activities (it was the first weekend after classes started).

9/23/2006 -- Lafayette

Fire in the hole! It's the Princeton University Band!

(Cannon)

So we noticed the Lafayette Band isn't here. Now isn't THAT strange... a bunch of Frenchmen not showing up to a competition of strength? I wonder where they are...

Saluting our Franco-American friends, the Band plays the French national anthem.

(Band forms a lower-case 'l' and plays "La Marseilles")

And now:
Ooh la la
Coup d'etat
Cul de sac
Je ne sais quoi
Sacre bleu!
Laissez-faire
Notre Dame
Faux Pas
Depardieu
Bourgeoisie
Fetchez le vache
Baton Rouge
Voulez-vous couchez avec The Double-Double-Rotating-P!

(Band forms the Double Double Rotating P and plays "Going Back")

And now, please rise for the playing of the National Anthem.

(Band plays "The Star-Spangled Banner")

9/30/2006 -- Columbia

Like it or not... it's the Princeton University Band!

(Due to time constraints, the band scrambles onto the field)

We haven't been here in a while, you know. Apparently two years ago it was your "250th Anniversary"... but really, we think you must have had something else up your sleeves. Were you celebrating:

Forming a little "c" for "capped like Alexander Hamilton," the Band plays Roar Lion Roar.

(Band forms a little "c" and plays "Roar Lion Roar")

And now...
Candygram
Two wild and crazy guys
More cowbell!
Superstahhh
Isn't that special?!
Would you like to touch my monkey?
Talk amongst yourselves
Goulet!
That's the ticket
Fire BAAAAD!
Party Time!
Excellent!
And Live... from New York... it's the Double-Double-Rotating P!

(Band forms Double-Double-Rotating P and plays "Going Back to Nassau Hall")

We're on a mission from God.

10/7/2006 -- Colgate

Note: The band was not allowed to perform a joke for this pregame, or even play anything on the field. Instead, we sat on the side of the field and watched as Colgate's band got to perform their show and commiserated about how much we hate Colgate Athletics.

10/13/2006 -- Brown

Getting a bad case of the munchies, it's the Princeton University Band!

(Band scrambles onto the field)

Dude, did you know that Brown... is both a color... AND a SCHOOL?! Whoa....Whoa. Have you ever, like, felt music? I mean... really... felt it? The Brown Band made me feel so... yeeeaaahhh. Wow. So, if God... were, like, a color....could you, like... have a crayon... called GOD? Deeep. Dude. DUDE! Seriously, dude, did you just eat the last brownie. Not cool. Not. Cool.

Man, it's like....like a "b" ...on the field. Put on some tunes, Band.

(Band forms small 'b' and plays "Brown Cheering Song")

And now...
Purple Haze
Puff the Magic Dragon
Eight Miles High
Strawberry Fields Forever
Mother's Little Helper
Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds
Last Dance with Mary Jane
White Rabbit
Comfortably Numb, Casey Jones you'd better watch that Double-Double-Rotating-P!!

(Band forms Double-Double-Rotating P and plays "Going Back")

And now, please rise for the playing of the National Anthem.

10/21/2006 -- Harvard

Ruining a perfectly good Saturday, it's the Princeton University Band!

Cambridge has recently been gripped by a serious, violent crime wave. Fortunately for the beleaguered town, the football team is here this weekend, granting them a temporary reprieve. Now, everyone knows some of the more flagrant examples of their behavior, but here are some other ways the team has given the Crimson a black eye:

And now...
Crime and Punishment
Crime of Passion
Organized Crime
Crime against Nature
War Crimes
High Crimes and Misdemeanors
Crime Spree
Crimea
Crime Scene Investigators
Campus Crime alert
Do the crime, do the time
And remember to help take a bite out of the Double-Double-Rotating-P!

(Band forms Double-Double-Rotating-P and plays "Going Back")

And now, please rise for the playing of the national anthem.

10/28/2006 -- Cornell

Cornell Athletics decided that the Princeton University Band would not be allowed to use the PA system at all for this game. We were told this the day before the game, and so we didn't write a pre-game show.

11/4/2006 -- Penn

Double-teaming Penn from the East and South, it's the Princeton University Band and University of Virginia Pep Band!

We in the Princeton Band would like to welcome both the Penn Band and the UVA Band to today's game. After spending a few hours with the Virginia kids, though, we immediately realized that UVA, not Penn, should be the eighth Ivy. Here's why:

Forming a little "p" for "punted from the Ivy League," the Band plays "Fight On, Pennsylvania."

(Band forms small "p" and plays "Fight On, Pennsylvania")

And Now...
Fifty-four Forty or Fight
Tippecanoe and Tyler, too
A New Deal
I like Ike
Peace with Honor
Read my lips, no new taxes
Lock-Box
Stay the Course
For a Stronger America
It's Time for a Change
We're gonna go to Washington and take back the Double-Double-Rotating-P! BYAWH!

(Band forms Double Double Rotating P and plays "Going Back")

Ladies and Gentlemen, please rise for the playing of the National Anthem

(Band plays "The Star-Spangled Banner")

11/11/2006 -- Yale

I forgot the come-on line, Band! Run on anyway!

Our president Mary Gallery isn't just an accomplished leader and trumpeter, she's also going to save the world. Here's how:

Mary had a little lambda, and it cried like a child when she murdered it. Speaking of things that make children cry, the Band plays Yale's fight song.

(Band forms lambda and plays "Bulldog")

And now
Arrogant
Drunk
Egocentric
Morbidly obese
Loose
Keira Knightley
Well-endowed
Racist
Sadistic
Dumb as a rock
Convicted felon
TOTALLY chill about her thesis
And Really happy,
It's the Double-Double-Rotating-Sad-Mary-Face

Run away, Band, before Mary makes you taste beer!

11/18/2006 -- Dartmouth

You know you love us, it's the Princeton University Band!

We'd like to welcome the Dartmouth Band to today's....wait, where'd they go?! What do you mean they're not here?! Why on EARTH would anyone want to stay in Hanover?! There must be some reason they didn't make it:

Forming a little "d" for "defensive," the Band plays the Dartmouth Fight Song.

(Band forms a little "d" and plays, "As the Backs go Tearing By")

And Now...
Burning
Blazing
Scorching
Flaming
Smoking
Torching
Combusting
Igniting
Smoldering
Sizzling
Crackling
Blistering
Singeing
Roasting
Flaring
Consuming
All-engulfing
Harvard and Yale couldn't withstand the heat of the Double-Double-Rotating-P!

(Band forms the Double-Double-Rotating-P and plays "Going Back")

And now, please rise for the playing of the National Anthem.
