one of the coolest traditions at the University of Illinois, where ANYONE in the audience who hears their fight song may stand and sing their fight song with the choir. It really shows the class and tradition of the BigTen schools. I've been attending the Dad's Day concerts since I was little and now I'm a member of the Trumpet Studio HAIL TO THE ORANGE!!!!!! ILL-INI!!!

This is tremendous. I am an alum of Purdue, played in the All American Marching Band and played all of these songs (except Nebraska). The Big Ten has unquestionably the best fight songs in the country. Nice to see the that Illinois Glee Club is every bit as classy as the Illinois Marching Band was when we visited back in 2004.

Larry, you didn't hear about this? What a shame. My boys had a youth hockey game, but I had to go to this. So I took the train down on Thursday for a couple days of practice. Practiced, watched Chanticleer which had a former Clubber, Ben Jones, and we had an after-party with them Thursday night. After Friday's practice, I hung out with Paul Castree and several other mostly Other Guys from the '80s at Murphy's were we sang after eating lunch in the afternoon. Then I came home Friday evening. Missed the actual concert. I'm Brad Doty in case you didn't recognize me in my picture.

Hello to anyone in the Ill. Glee Club in the early to mid-seventies. I sang bass and would love to hear from anyone out there (especially Dave O.). (You can simply reply to this post.) I worked as an overseas professor for many years (when this concert occurred), and a transfer in location may have prevented me from learning about this concert. God bless you guys, especially anyone reading this.

I've never sung them, as I went for the first two practice days for this concert, but had to leave that Friday to coach my boys' hockey game. Apparently the Club also sings the alma maters for Pedd State (Hail to the Lion) and Nebraska (Hail Varsity). These must have been Dr. Coleman's choices, as the extra Big Ten teams started entering during his tenure.

I'm familiar with all three. A previous poster said "That's not Ohio State's fight song" as though it made some sort of difference. Not every song in the Medley is a "fight song." Carmen Ohio is, as you point out, the alma mater, as is "Varsity" for Wisconsin.
