Blue & Gold Committee

The Blue & Gold Committee is the Skule™ spirit committee in charge of many Skule™ activities and events, including Godiva Week, bus trips, movie nights, and Homecoming.

Typically, the Blue & Gold Committee runs one movie night on the first night of F!rosh Week, to welcome incoming first year students to Skule™. As well, the Blue & Gold Committee usually runs a few other movie nights throughout the course of the Skule™ year, including one during Godiva Week.

The Blue & Gold Committee plans the construction of the Skule™ entry in the Homecoming float competition, judged by the ex-Blue & Gold Committee chairs. Past entries have included a streetcar, a Viking ship, and a boombox.

As well, they organize Godiva Week, including events such as Ye Grande Olde Chariot Race, the Mr. Blue & Gold and Godiva's Crown competitions, the Village Pub Crawl, and various charity events.

In recent years, the Blue & Gold Committee has also organized a Tools 101 event for F!rosh, to teach them how to safely use basic power tools.

If I Were The Blue & Gold Chair

Tradition dictates that there are a series of presentations during the ConHall event of F!rosh Week (currently known as Matriculation) to get the F!rosh aware of the different things they can participate in, and to introduce them to the university. Among these presentations are ones done by the Engineering Stores, SkuleTM Nite, the Lady Godiva Memorial Bnad, and the Blue & Gold Committee.

In 2006, John McLeod and Henry Cheung changed the format of the Blue & Gold presentation... and this is what they came up with (sung to the tune of 'If I Had A Million Dollars'):

John: If I were the Blue & Gold Chair
Henry: If I were the Blue & Gold Chair
I'd sing you this song
(I would sing you this song)

John: If I were the Blue & Gold Chair
Henry: If I were the Blue & Gold Chair
I'd go on and on and on
(But not forget my words or be out of tune)

John: If I were the Blue & Gold Chair
Henry: If I were the Blue & Gold Chair
I'd sing about lots of fun
(Like the Blue & Gold Committee)

If I were the Blue & Gold Chair
Oh, Blue & Gooooolllllllld!

CHORUS:
If I were a Blue & Gold Chair
Henry: We'd build a homecoming float!
If I were a Blue & Gold Chair
John: You could help; don't forget your coat!
If I were a Blue & Gold Chair
Henry: We could drive it around all over Toronto!

TALKING BIT:
Henry: Hey Johnny, we've heard a lot about this Blue & Gold Committee. What sort of stuff do they do?
John: Well Henry... trips, movie nights, power tools... What would you do if you were a Blue & Gold Chair?

Henry: Well...

Henry: If I were the Blue & Gold Chair
John: If I were the Blue & Gold Chair
I would run a movie night
(In fact, there's one in only 10 hours)

Henry: If I were the Blue & Gold Chair
John: If I were the Blue & Gold Chair
I'd run Wednesday's F!rosh Olympics
(Test your skill, speed, & your sports)

Henry: If I were the Blue & Gold Chair
John: If I were the Blue & Gold Chair
I'd build you a bed
(Not to sleep on - but to race - ON THURSDAY!)

If I were the Blue & Gold Chair
Oh, Blue & Gooooolllllllld!

CHORUS:
If I were a Blue & Gold Chair
Henry: We would run Godiva Week!
If I were a Blue & Gold Chair
John: We would sing instead of speak!
If I were a Blue & Gold Chair
Henry: Oh how I wish, oh how I wish...

TALKING BIT:
Henry: (But we are the Blue & Gold Chairs, Johnny...)
John: Oh yeah, that's right Henry, that'll save us some time... how do I get involved and get all my friends to join?
Henry: Well, there's only one way to find out... sing about it!

Henry: How do I join Blue & Gold?
John: How do I join Blue & Gold?
They have a great mailing list
(That way, none of the events will be missed!)

Henry: How do I join Blue & Gold?
John: How do I join Blue & Gold?
Just go online today
(to blueandgold.skule.ca)

Henry: If I were the Blue & Gold Chair
John: If I were the Blue & Gold Chair
It's easy guys, you'll see
(Haven't you signed up already!?)

If I were the Blue & Gold Chair
Oh, Blue & Gooooolllllllld!

CHORUS:
How do I join Blue & Gold?
Henry: It's easy, just go online...
How do I join Blue & Gold?
John: Type it in, you'll be just fine.
How do I join Blue & Goooooooollllllllld?
Henry: blueandgold.skule.ca!

Barrett's Privateers
by Stan Rogers
Oh the year was seventeen seventy eight
I wish I were in Sherbrooke now!
A letter of marque came from the King
To the scummiest vessel I've ever seen

CHORUS:
God Damn them all! I was told
We'd cruise the seas for American gold
We'd fire no guns, shed no tears
Now I'm a broken man on a Halifax pier
The last of Barrett's privateers.

Oh Elcid Barrett cried the town,
I wish I were in Sherbrooke now!
For twenty brave men, all fishermen, who
Would make for him the Antelope's crew,

The Antelope sloop was a sickening sight.
I wish I were in Sherbrooke now!
She'd a list to port and her sails in rags,
And a cook in the scuppers with staggers and jags.

On the King's birthday we put to sea.
I wish I were in Sherbrooke now!
We were ninety-one days to Montego bay,
Pumping like madmen all the way.

On the ninety-sixth day we sailed again.
I wish I were in Sherbrooke now!
When a bloody great Yankee hove in sight
With our cracked four-pounders we made to fight

The Yankee lay low down with gold.
I wish I were in Sherbrooke now!
She was broad and fat and loose in stays,
But to catch her took the Antelope two whole days

Then at length we stood two cables away.
I wish I were in Sherbrooke now!
Our cracked four-pounders made an awful din,
But with one fat ball the Yank stove us in.

The Antelope shook and pitched on her side.
I wish I were in Sherbrooke now!
Barrett was smashed like a bowl of eggs,
And the maintruck carried off both me legs.

So here I lay in my twenty-third year.
I wish I were in Sherbrooke now!
It's been six years since we sailed away,
And I just made Halifax yesterday.
