Do we need a Patriot Band "theme" song?
Over the years I have part and parcel to the use of "theme" songs for different organizations. I've often thought that the use of a band song was a great way to unite the group before a competition. When I taught at Haworth High School in Kokomo in the 80s we sang a verse of "You'll Never Walk Alone". The title is pretty well explains the song. I know several drum and bugle corps have similiar traditions with such songs as "Over the Rainbow", "Auld Lang Syne", etc. What do ya think, band members? Would this be something we should try? Give me some ideas. How about a band motto - you know, something Latin like "Finis Coronat Opus" (the end crowns the work).
