This is a "remix" of the school song as it was performed in the late 80's (I'm not sure how far back it goes). Unfortunately, there's no known recording (that I could find) of the arrangement that was used in the 80's. I had to take the vocals from the 1990 Graduation ceremony and the band part is from a studio recording the band apparently made around... 2002 that was a slightly different arrangement and in a different key. It took a lot of cutting, editing and mixing to get it to sound as close to the way I believe it should be sung/performed. I like the vocals being acapella because it puts emphasis on the lyrics, which I suspect is why it might have been arranged that way. Here's to you Howard Payne!
