Page "Marching band" Paragraph 9

Another innovation that appeared at roughly the same time as the field show and marching in formations was the fight song.

University fight songs are often closely associated with a university's band.

The University of Illinois also had the first fight song, " Illinois Loyalty ".

Many of the more recognizable and popular fight songs are widely utilized by high schools across the country.

Four university fight songs commonly used by high schools are the University of Michigan's " The Victors ", The University of Illinois ' " Illinois Loyalty ", the University of Notre Dame's " Victory March ", and the United States Naval Academy's " Anchors Aweigh ".
