2003-10-11 - Lafayette

{note for posterity: normally we don't travel to away Patriot League games, but athletics begged us to this time. They even fronted our bus fare. How could we say no? The script was written the morning of the game; we performed it in the stands.}

Half-Time

Ladies and Gentlemen, and fans of the Columbia Lions, back with its most unplugged half-time show ever, it's the most acoustic band in the world, the Columbia University Sedentary Scramblers!

J. Daniel Binder - "What am I doing at Lafayette?"
J. Vanessa Schneider - "We never come here!"
and J. Columbia Lions - It's for a higher cause.

[Who Owns New York]

Ladies and gentlemen, if we may be candid, the Columbia University Marching Band does not typically travel to Patriot League away games, but Holy Shoop! how could we skip the Lion's third victory in a row? In a salute to Columbia's tenacious turnaround, the Marching Band now arranges itself in an unprecedentedly traditional formation, and behaves itself.

[no formation, play Livin' on a Prayer]

Run Away! {which is to say, Stay Sitting Right Where We Are}
