Songs of the DCMB!
The DCMB prides itself on supporting Dartmouth sports with zany antics, but we do indeed play some music as well. What sort? Of course we play the obligatory '80's tunes and TV Themes, but on occasion we depart from typical marching band tradition and play the school fight songs and alma mater. With the lyrics below, next time we "march" by, you'll be able to sing along.
And now the Dartmouth College Marching Band!
Note that team names in italics below can be replaced
to match with the Big Green's current opponent.
Dartmouth's in town again,
Team, Team, Team!
Echo the old refrain,
Team, Team, Team!
Dartmouth, for you we sing.
Dartmouth, the echoes ring.
Dartmouth, we cheer for you!
Down where the men in green,
Play on play,
Are fighting like Dartmouth men.
We have a Dartmouth team and say,
Dartmouth's in town again!
Hear the DCMB and the Wind Symphony play DT1! (728K WAV file)
Come stand up men and sing for Dartmouth.
Cheer when the team in green appears.
For naught avails the strength of Harvard,
When they hear our mighty cheers!
Fight, fight, fight for Dartmouth,
And tear on down the field.
Touchdown, Touchdown, Dartmouth,
For the old Crimson's strength must yield.
Hear the DCMB and the Wind Symphony play DT2! (741K WAV file)
As the backs go tearing by,
On their way to do or die,
Many sighs and many tears,
Mingle with the Harvard cheers,
As the backs go tearing by.
Making gain on steady gain,
Echo swells the sweet refrain.
Dartmouth's going to win today!
Dartmouth's sure to win today,
As the backs go tearing by!
Hear the DCMB and the Wind Symphony play DT3! (728K WAV file)
Glory to Dartmouth,
Loyal, we sing.
Now, all together,
MAKE THE ECHOES RING FOR DARTMOUTH!
Our team's a winner,
We've got the stuff!
We wear the Dartmouth Green
And that's enough!
DARTMOUTH, DARTMOUTH, TEAM!

Dear old Dartmouth, give a rouse
For the College on the hill,
For the Lone Pine above her,
And the loyal ones who love her.
Give a rouse, give a rouse, with a will!
For the sons of old Dartmouth,
For the daughters of Dartmouth.
Though 'round the girdled Earth they roam,
Her spell on them remains.
They have the still North in their hearts,
The hill winds in their veins,
And the granite of New Hampshire
In their muscles and their brains.
And the granite of New Hampshire
In their muscles and their brains.
Dear old Dartmouth, set a watch,
Lest the old traditions fail.
Stand as sister stands by brother.
Dare a deed for the old mother.
Greet the world from the hills with a hail!
For the sons of old Dartmouth,
For the daughters of Dartmouth.
Around the world they keep for her
Their old undying faith.
They have the still North in their soul,
The hill winds in their breath,
And the granite of New Hampshire
Is made part of them 'til death.
And the granite of New Hampshire
Is made part of them 'til death.
