Cornell Band Plays DU Fight Song
Showing once again why the Cornell Band and their students are some of the most creative fans in college hockey, the Cornell Band played the DU Fight Song (D Rah) three times in the NCAA Playoff game against Colorado College. As CC skated out onto the ice for Pregame warmups the band played D-Rah. As CC skated onto the ice to begin the First and Second Periods they heard D-Rah again. I'm not sure whether or not any of the CC players where savvy enough to pick up on the jab, but no one is surprised back in Colorado what happened next. The psychological warfare had its desired effect, CC folded like a house of cards, blowing a two goal lead after our Fight Song was played for the third time.
Just when the Cheetah's disbelieving fans might have begun contemplating a trip to Milwaukee, the rug was pulled out from under them once again. So close to erasing the misery that is 1957, yet so far in the grand scheme of things. After Cornell played the DU Fight Song, CC collapsed and let in three unanswered goals to lose 3-2.
Longtime DU hockey fan Pete Dauphin heard the song loud and clear over the television and reported that it was, "The best rendition of the Fight Song he has ever heard." Way to go Cornell...
.
Accoring to one of the band members, Cornell students downloaded the sheet music and the midi file of the fight song from the DU Pep Band Website, and a trumpet player at Cornell arranged it for the Big Red pep band. Denver fans have been complimenting them ever since...

You Can't Spell Constantly Choking without CC...

DG,

Do you want me to fly up to NYC walk into your office and do a complete check on your computer? :-)
CC=Colorado Chokers
Sure and we can go have a beer too
I'll pay for the plane ticket and you can buy the beer. Actually, I should be back up there in June to fix your computer...
Deal,I've got the beer or whatever else you want to drink
As a Cornell fans, thanks.
Other favorites of the Cornell band are Anchors Aweigh (Naval Academy) during games against Army (which are quite infrequent since the left the ECAC in 1991) and Hail to the Victors (Michigan) for games against Ohio State. And of course, there is the theme to Love Story when we play Harvard.
and last year, they played the Wisconsin fight song while playing Minnesota...I thought that was pretty darned funny...
Actually, the band played D Rah when CC came out for opening warmups, the first period, and the second period. Sorry to burst any bubbles about psychological warfare. Thanks for the props though.
