    "I laughed, I cried, I'd see it again and again."
    And now you can. Well, almost; for many of these formations, you can also go directly to the original halftime joke.

    [photo] The Double-Double Rotating P (Pregame '80) Our trademark formation from nearly every pregame show, it's The One, The Only, Double-Double Rotating P!

    George Shultz's butt (Harvard '88) When we learned that Secretary of State George Shultz '52 would be at the game, we couldn't help but needle him about the location of his Tiger tatoo. [photo]

    [photo] Hal Shapiro (Harvard '00) To honor the departure of our beloved University President Harold T. Shapiro, the band performed an entire halftime show and put his face on the field.

    BAN (Army '82) ...by banning us from performing at West Point. Wouldn't want those cadets to be injured by shards of flying satire, would we? (Ain't censorship grand?) [photo]

    [photo] The All-Purpose Rectangle (10/70) We get lots of milage from rectangles, whether we call them jail cells, television sets, newspapers, or books.

    Rock Around the Clock (Bucknell '91) We also do lots of circles. This time, we're calling it a clock. [photo]

    [photo] The U.S.S. Enterprise (Yale '91) What you don't see here is that we marched out in this formation as well.

    N.F.W. (Maine '81) ...in response to some suggestions that we'd be much happier marching back and forth in straight lines and playing marches all the time. [photo]

    [photo] Double-Double Rotating Brassiere (Dartmouth Pregame '86) Near the end of the year, the President takes over the job of Drum Major, leading the Band during a pregame show. The Band shows its affection for the President by surprising him or her with a special pregame. This year, we replaced the traditional Double-Double Rotating P with a salute to what the President lost three years earlier on her first roadtrip.

    Concerned Responsible Alumni of Princeton (Dartmouth '82) The Concerned Alumni of Princeton, or CAP, was an organization of alums with views that many others found....reactionary, shall we say. Here we saluted their demands. [photo]

    Masquerading as the Colgate Band (1985) We always feel bad for the opposing fans during those rare occasions when their band isn't able to attend the game. Being the generous people we are, we're always happy to fill in for the missing band. Here we are posing as the Colgate University Band. (Yes, we really are dressed up as tubes of toothpaste, and are forming a toothbrush.)

    A Blob; Block Band (10/70) The blob is a scramble band's best friend. Whether you call it "The Face of God," or "Angst," it's still a blob. And in a rare departure from blobs and phallic symbols, here's the the traditional block band thing, just to prove we can. So there. [photo] [photo]

    [photo] [photo] 69 (Dartmouth '82), 75 (Hahvahd '94) Our favorite number is 69; here we're saying farewell to outgoing Dean of Students Andy Brown '69. We also celebrated 75 years with our alumni at the 75th Birthday show.

    Princeton Shield (11/72) The DM's love formations with lots of props. The Princeton University shield uses two tarps, a book, and the DM's favorite: three 40-pound fire extinguishers. [photo]

    [photo] Elis Lack Intelligence (Yale '83) Paying tribute to our guests from yale, the Band points out that "Elis Lack Intelligence."
