Fine traditions of our past shouldn't fall by the wayside.... they should continue, be cherished, and above all else, be respected for what they are. But alas, it seems one fine tradition has met a tragic fate, and will no longer be passed onto future generations. That tradition, once held by the Princeton University Band is the "White Castle Meat Product Tolerance Marathon Scorebook". Running for 16 years, this fine tradition involved consuming as many White Castle "Sliders" as possible in one sitting. History was made, records were broken, tears were shed, royalty was appointed. A shame the tradition no longer lives on ;(

It can get kinda slow during Dead Week, the days between the end of school and the start of Reunions. (Hence the name.) Among the Band's activities is the Annual White Castle® Meat Product Tolerance Competition. After rehearsal one night, we head up Route 1 to White Castle in the hopes of setting new individual and team records for hamburger comsumption.
