This guy must have similar musical tastes to mine.
I like Tulane's fight song the most. It's very festive and uplifting, has an "up" feeling.
Houston's fight song is quite punchy and memorable. I like it.
However, there is one and only one fight song among them that is well known and played by high school marching bands all around the nation - - and that's Navy's. It's a classic and a standard.
In my HS marching band, we frequently played several fight songs in parades: ND, Michigan, MSU, OSU ("across the field"),
Navy, Air Force ("off we go into the wild blue yonder"), the Marines Hymn ("From the Halls of Montezuma..."), "Under the Double Eagle," and various John Phillips Souza marches.
So, which conferences are represented in this list of High School marching band fight songs?
Big Ten: Michigan, MSU, OSU
MWC: Air Force
AAC: Navy *2 (including the Marines Hymn)
Anyone else here who played in a HS marching band? Which fight songs and marches did your band play most often?
