ShowCo Chairs: James Maxwell (CLAS ’04) and Jim Apple (CLAS ’03)

“VPI & SU too” Show Version 1

Intro: Welcome to the University of Virginia, the best Public University in the nation! All you Hokies out there might wonder what sets the University apart from all the identical Big State Universities in this country. Well, we don’t have freshmen, we have first years. We don’t have a “campus” we have “the grounds.” We don’t have cows, we have books. And of course, we don’t have a marching band, we have… The Award Winning Virginia Fighting Cavalier Pep Band and Chowder Society Review!

Ann: The Pep Band believes that a more severe punishment is in line for violation of the honor system. We propose for the first offense the penalty will one semester at Virginia Tech. For the second, a four year scholarship!

Ann: The hokie walks into a supermarket and buys: 1 pint of milk, 1 single serving cereal, 1 single serving frozen dinner. The cashier looks at him and asks, “Single are you?” The Hokie replies, “How’d you guess?” She says, “Because you’re ugly.”

Ann: With Thanksgiving next week, the Pep Band would like to list a few things we’re thankful for: Aaron Brooks in 1998, the Syracuse Orangemen, Lollipops, the Pittsburgh Panthers and the 200 miles between here and Blacksburg.

Ann: What the difference between an Orangeman and a hokie? A few trips to the end zone.

INTRO: Band forms TV on field, creating this from the sideline without scrambling on. "There is nothing wrong with your football field. Do not

attempt to adjust the [halftime/pregame] show. We control the transmission. We control the horizontal. [band lies down] We control the vertical. [band stands up] We can make it loud. [we play loud] we can make it soft [we say "shhhh!"] For the next five minutes, we will control all you see and hear. You are about to experience the awe and

mystery that reaches from the inner minds of . . . The award winning virginia fighting cavalier indoor/outdoor precision pep band!"

formation:THX

The pep band would like to thank all the alumni for their support throughout this year. UNfotunately, we don't have enough people to spell out thanks, so we have this abbreviation for you

[play THX sound]

The audience is listening

we will be playing Tech next year at their home stadium in Blacksburg. For the avid virginia fan, the pep band provides directions: south until olfactory stimulation, west until tactile stiulation. For all you hokies, that's "south til ya smell it, west till ya step in it!"

INTRO: pep band runs on field, makes half-formed formation, flag thrown, wistle blown "That's an illegal formation 10 yard penalty"

the pep band would like everyone to join us in a game of charades. First hint: it's a four letter word, second: it sounds like truck, and it's something we all need and we all want.

Form: LUCK

That's right, the Virginia pep band would like to wish good luck to our team today as they battle Virginia Tech.

"Would the owner of ten thousand dollars in small, unmarked, non-sequential bills wrapped in rubber bands please report to the ticket office. We have your rubber bands"

A hokie, A rabbi, a priest, the pope, Jerry Fallwell, a naked woman, a blind schnauzer, and George w. Bush walk into a bar. The bartender says, "what is this, some kind of joke!"

Hokie fans, welcome to our stadium. We would like to remind you that re-entering the stadium is not allowed. Not to worry since we have indoor plumbing here at the University, and therefore restrooms in our very own stadium.

Ann: In an exciting game all you Gobbler fans won’t want to miss, the Cavaliers will welcome the Virginia Tech basketball team to U-Hall on December 1^st. The Virginia Tech Basketball team will start this season with high hopes, cause with a 19 loss record from last year, the only place to go is up!

formation: braile or FLASH

The pep band would like to salute the referees from last weeks game. We have spelled out thanks for them in braile.

A few weeks ago, there was some controversy at the Syracuse -Virginia Tech game over a lollipop. For those of you who missed the coverage on ESPN, the pep band would like to perform a reenactment for you here today:
