My buddy Dan just posted a skit we did back in college for a marching band event.  He just kind of threw it out there, so I thought I might provide some background.  I'm sure others may remember this differently.  Feel free to correct me in the comments.

The event was Band Follies, an annual event celebrating the marching season, which gave the band a chance to hang out in a purely social situation.  Each year, band follies is themed, and this year was a toga party.  Another tradition is that whoever wants to can come up with a skit to perform toward the end.  Kappa Kapa Psi and Tau Beta Sigma, the band's service fraternity and sorority (respectively) also each do a skit, primarily, to show the freshmen how "cool" we are so they'll want to join.

I remember the meeting where we (KKPSi) came up with the idea for our skit.  I had only 1 criteria in mind:

• As gory and bloody as possible

We decided to go with a well-known historical event, and simply give our rendition of it.  Since it was a toga party, we thought we'd play on that and do the death of Ceasar.  Jeff Flint, our benevolent drum major, played Ceasar, and Victor Villalobos played the part of Brutus, although his name was Victor in the skit for some reason.  I led the public rebellion against Ceasar. (I'm the one in the red cap)

One of the problems with the skits in the past is that we were too lazy to rehearse or come up with a real script.  So, to combat this, we wrote the beginning and end, then broke up into smaller groups that would each come up with a "fight scene" during the middle of the skit.  Again, the only criteria was to be as gory as possible.

Dave and I were a team, and our gimic was to be a spectacular exploding head.  He would attempt to defeat me, and I would attempt to evade his attacks with ninja-like skills, then, after being horribly wounded in the stomach, I would turn behind him and crush his head with a mighty blow.  Kool-Aid would splatter everywhere, and the audience would have no other choice but to vomit uncontrollably.  Despite Dave's best efforts, the Kool-Aid leaked and made his paper mache head soggy.  In addition, my Kool-Aid er.. "blood" pack was too strong, and I had to burst it myself, which looked more like a horrible bowel hemmorage than anything else.

Anyway, the other guys all had very hilarious fight scenes, which involved everything from fake arms (a la Monty Python) to real cow livers.  The real payoff was Victor's last Scooby-doo inspired line:

...and I would have gotten away with it too, if it weren't for you pesky Romans!

It was really meant for a live audience, but watch it anyway.  Hopefully with this background it might actually be funny to a random person.

Oh yeah, Mark Bauman and Dan Obregon played medics, who would attend to the wounded as an excuse to get them out of the way for the next fight.  They actually had some of the funniest lines in the whole skit.  Too bad the sound wasn't good enough to catch them.  Do either one of you guys have your original script?
