Harvard drill master David Pinto '82 last week also declined comment on his band's show, except to say "our shows have been decent this year--it'll probably be very funny."

But the passer-by might wonder at the lyrics; To honor der Fuehrer, Hanfy had changed the words a bit. Instead of the traditional repeating "Harvard" chorus, Hanfstaengl would bellow out "Sieg Heil" again and again...
