It's not my school, but Waller uses it.

Man, even my junior high had its own fight song...I hate it when schools rip off tunes from other schools.

Although, when you think about it, the more high schools that have our War Hymn as their fight song, the more we are training kids to have that song ingrained in their minds.

But one thing that throws me is a school like North Garland where my wife teaches; they are the Raiders, and yet they play our fight song. But to add insult to insanity, after the part which should be sung "rough tough real stuff Texas A&M" the whole stadium goes into "guns up" mode chanting some sort of Raider lyric...makes me sick.

Don't think this has been mentioned yet, but I believe the Sealy Tigers use it. Used to tick me off so bad, because I knew I was going to A&M my senior year of high school, and I had to hear the War Hymn coming from those a-holes.

Hobbs High School (NM) uses it.

one of the Bryan/Brennam high schools uses it... cuz they wouldn't stop playing it when they kicked our ass back in the day :P

It isn't Brenham. That is where I went to school.

i wonder how many use texas bite or i've been working on the railroad?

Yes, Rockwall HS uses the War Hymn, but it's more like the war hymn on speed. Also, their colors are orange and white. Rumor has it, the town was divided when choosing colors and fight song with Aggies and sips, and they ended up with one side getting the colors and the other getting the song.

One of the Baytown schools (Sterling or Lee) had a drum and bugel(sp.) marching band that performed somewhat like the FTAB and also played our fight song during there routine.

If I'm not mistaken, Mesquite Poteet uses Anchors Away...or at least they did when I was in high school.

Redan High School in Stone Mountain, GA uses it.

Schulenberg Shorthorns play the War Hymn

The Poteet Aggies do indeed play the War Hymn.

My old high school played Patton, but it wasn't our "official" fight song.

I think Wisconsin's fight song is the last part of the War Hymn. You know that part that goes, "Late one night...when the t-sips were in bed..."

FWIW: Flatonia's Alma Mater is "Oh Christmas Tree, Oh Christmas Tree!" Our band director used to admonish us when we'd sing along while they were playing it!

"...I will not make my friends run wind sprints for playing soft defense at recess..." X 500 times

Your state champion Ennis Lions not only use the War Hymn, but they also have a military-style marching band that forms a block-E at the end of the routine. Makes me feel right at home.

How did all this sawdust get under the hood?

I think Troy Trojans????

ag-seventy....i went to rockwall high and yes, we did use the war hymn.....but, during pep rallies, the band would play alot of the texas fight song as well (mainly cuz some jackass coach was a longhorn fan), but our "fight" song was based on the aggie war hymn

More likely, you just aren't aware of where it was ripped off from. There are very, very few unique fight songs in use.

I believe that is Ennis's fight song...they kept playing it at the 4a state championship against Marshall this year so i assume it is...

Waller & Lewsville

Riesel High School

Lake Highlands HS, Dallas Tx...we played the U.S.C. fight song as well as "Conquest", the song USC plays after it soresa PAT.

Moragn Fairchild is our most famous alumni

If I recall correctly, Shiner High (the public one) plays some version of "In Heaven there is no beer....that's why we drink it here!..."

"...I will not make my friends run wind sprints for playing soft defense at recess..." X 500 times

Raptor and 12thmanClass01 are right, I'm from Riesel. We dropped to 1A but still use it as our fight song.....the horrible part is our school song is the eyes of texas....never sang that one

Tom Bean HS

I dont remember them playing it at Hobbs, but that doesnt mean alot. Of course, I wouldnt have recognized it being played by them anyway.

Jayton High School.

We used the stupid worn-out Notre Dame fight song at Stamford High School, and one of our chief rivals, the Anson Tigers, used The Eyes of Texas, hated it every time I heard it.

Public Enemy # 1, the Haskell Indians, used "Haskell High, Oh Haskell High" as their school song, so of course everyone from Stamford sang along with them, to the tune of "O Christmas Tree."

The Winters Blizzards, not surprisingly, use Winter Wonderland.

Springtown Porcupines play the War Hymn.

when i was in high school in Lorena, Tx, our fight song was Texas Fight. sucked.

Baytown's R.E. Lee HS has (or had) an all female drum and bugel corp, every but of music they played was the tyical A&M band music finishing with the aggie war hymn.

Linden-Kildare HS home of Edd Hargett uses the Aggie War Hymn as its fight song.

If you don't live on the edge, you can't see the view

Ya, I'm pretty sure Rockwall does play the war hymn. I remember when we (Plano East) played them a few years ago and they busted it out.

Granger Lions

Pearsall High School in Pearsall, TX plays the War Hymn as their fight song...their mascot is also a "Maverick" so they use the longhorn logo on EVERYTHING AND their handsign is the "hook 'em"...confused kids I tell you.

It's kinda strange to watch them flash the "hook 'em" whenever the war hymn begins.

Baker High in Baker, LA does...
