Hello friends!
The football team will be off in Arizona this Saturday, so the band is taking some time to relax and work on field shows that won't be total disasters. "Not total disasters?" you must be wondering, "What impish flights-of-fancy be these?" Well, as a special insider's scoop for the three of you in the Midwest who managed to find this brand-new blog, we're going to tell you the shows that the band will perform at the next home football game on November 3, 2007. They are:
Pregame: "China Today!" China has been in the news a lot lately, and with an Olympics on the way, that's not going to change any time soon. We know you keep promising yourself that you'll call your old buddy China, or at least send a Christmas card, but hey, you're busy. Don't worry though; the Band will let you know what's up on the Far-East Side.
Halftime: "Killer Robots" We are proud of our Computer Science department here at Stanford (that program churns out some pretty good sax players!), and every year we send flocks of new grads off to new toil in Silicon Valley. As such, we are all well aware of the enormous threat robots pose to society. Come November 3, you'll cling to your loved ones in suspense as you wonder if the band will manage to destroy its metallic would-be conquerors.*
And now, for those of you who haven't seen it, as well as those of you who recognize it as an instant classic, here is the video of our "Marching Cardinal" show from 9/15/07. This was our first field show since December 2005, and we spent dozens of hours learning to march, and even more time in the hospital for marching-related injuries. Those fancy Stanford doctors had never removed a Dollie from a tuba before!

*Outlook not good; the band is a bunch of sissies.
