'''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 <br />
'''Henry:''' If I were the Blue & Gold Chair <br />
I'd sing you this song <br />
(I would sing you this song) <br />
<br />
'''John:''' If I were the Blue & Gold Chair <br />
'''Henry:''' If I were the Blue & Gold Chair <br />
I'd go on and on and on <br />
(But not forget my words or be out of tune) <br />
<br />
'''John:''' If I were the Blue & Gold Chair <br />
'''Henry:''' If I were the Blue & Gold Chair <br />
I'd sing about lots of fun <br />
(Like the Blue & Gold Committee) <br />
<br />
If I were the Blue & Gold Chair <br />
Oh, Blue & Gooooolllllllld! <br />
CHORUS: <br />
If I were a Blue & Gold Chair <br />
'''Henry:''' We'd build a homecoming float! <br />
If I were a Blue & Gold Chair <br />
'''John:''' You could help; don't forget your coat! <br />
If I were a Blue & Gold Chair <br />
Henry: We could drive it around all over Toronto! <br />
<br />
TALKING BIT: <br />
'''Henry:''' Hey Johnny, we've heard a lot about this Blue & Gold Committee. What sort of stuff do they do? <br />
'''John:''' Well Henry... trips, movie nights, power tools... What would you do if you were a Blue & Gold Chair? <br />
<br />
'''Henry:''' Well... <br />
<br />
'''Henry:''' If I were the Blue & Gold Chair <br />
'''John:''' If I were the Blue & Gold Chair <br />
I would run a movie night <br />
(In fact, there's one in only 10 hours) <br />
<br />
'''Henry:''' If I were the Blue & Gold Chair <br />
'''John:''' If I were the Blue & Gold Chair <br />
I'd run Wednesday's F!rosh Olympics <br />
(Test your skill, speed, & your sports) <br />
<br />
'''Henry:''' If I were the Blue & Gold Chair <br />
'''John:''' If I were the Blue & Gold Chair <br />
I'd build you a bed <br />
(Not to sleep on - but to race - ON THURSDAY!) <br />
<br />
If I were the Blue & Gold Chair <br />
Oh, Blue & Gooooolllllllld! <br />
<br />
CHORUS: <br />
If I were a Blue & Gold Chair <br />
'''Henry:''' We would run Godiva Week! <br />
If I were a Blue & Gold Chair <br />
'''John:''' We would sing instead of speak! <br />
If I were a Blue & Gold Chair <br />
'''Henry:''' Oh how I wish, oh how I wish... <br />
<br />
TALKING BIT: <br />
'''Henry:''' (But we are the Blue & Gold Chairs, Johnny...) <br />
'''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? <br />
'''Henry:''' Well, there's only one way to find out... sing about it! <br />
<br />
'''Henry:''' How do I join Blue & Gold? <br />
'''John:''' How do I join Blue & Gold? <br />
They have a great mailing list <br />
(That way, none of the events will be missed!) <br />
<br />
'''Henry:''' How do I join Blue & Gold? <br />
'''John:''' How do I join Blue & Gold? <br />
Just go online today <br />
(to blueandgold.skule.ca) <br />
<br />
'''Henry:''' If I were the Blue & Gold Chair <br />
'''John:''' If I were the Blue & Gold Chair <br />
It's easy guys, you'll see <br />
(Haven't you signed up already!?) <br />
<br />
If I were the Blue & Gold Chair <br />
Oh, Blue & Gooooolllllllld! <br />
<br />
CHORUS: <br />
How do I join Blue & Gold? <br />
'''Henry:''' It's easy, just go online... <br />
How do I join Blue & Gold? <br />
'''John:''' Type it in, you'll be just fine. <br />
How do I join Blue & Goooooooollllllllld? <br />
'''Henry:''' blueandgold.skule.ca! <br />

Revision as of 13:56, 18 January 2021

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.
