Intro: Welcome to the University of Virginia, the best Public

University in the nation! 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 a marching band, but we do have The Award Winning Virginia Fighting Cavalier Pep Band and Chowder Society Review!

Form: V with sabers

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

Play: Good Old Song

Form: H₂O

Ann: Hokie fans, welcome to beautiful Scott Stadium. We would like to remind you that re-entering the stadium is not allowed, but don't worry, we have indoor plumbing.

Play: Call Me Al

During break: Band runs 10 yards to the left.

Ann: Look! Running water!

Form: $

Ann: Virginia Polytechnic Institute's recruiting efforts took a hit this week when the US Supreme Court ruled four year scholarships to Tech in violation of the 8th Amendment's ban on cruel and unusual punishment.

Half Time!!

INTRO: Band forms TV on field, creating this from the sideline without scrambling on.

Ann: There is nothing wrong with your football field. Do not attempt to adjust the halftime 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!"

Form: HOOS

Ann: "Would the owner of ten thousand dollars in small, unmarked, non-sequential bills wrapped in rubber bands please report to the lost and found. We have your rubber bands."

On the way out:

Ann: And remember Hokie fans, just like Syracuse, you get 3 points for using the Tootsie Roll center of a Tootsie Pop in its intended fashion. [Set up a 20 to 25-yard field goal kick (snapper, holder, kicker, 2 officials under the uprights). Holder tees up the kick on an oversized lollipop. Kick is up...]
