What invariably happens is some people get cute and start making up some harmonies, and as time goes on more and more people start singing the "harmony" part, until it gets to the point where everybody is singing the "harmony" instead of the true part.

It just needs a reset. The funny thing is, when I was in the band, we had to go through a reset as well...

The first part the melody deviates today is right at "25 feet from the Hillcrest track". (it doesn't go up)

Then again at "I'd be just as sassy as a Mustang lassie". Then, once final time, at "There's a chick waiting there".

The two recordings I have are Mustang Jazz and Red Hot 'n' Blues, and I am sure there are more!

As a band nerd I had no vocal ability before I got to the band. Having to learn the four part Varsity helped me learn quite a bit. I still leave my solo performances in my car though.

One time the tough-guy looking coach, not sure of his name or if he's here still, was showing the band a chant where they would go "Ohhhhh... Game Time!" Well, we pulled out a "Rodeo, Rodeo, Mustangs Ride 'Em!" and he was just like "Dam n..."

It was the linebacker coach. I remember it very clearly. Pretty sure we blew his kind at the time.

Yeah, he kind of had that glassy eyed look of wonder at the epicness of a well done Rodeo.

Relax. The band will get there, and I assume the cheerleaders will, too.
Just make sure the Mustangs win!

Since we're obviously not sticking to topic, does anyone miss Loyalty song? My year was the last to play it. Therefore the other songs with the same melody have suffered.
