About the song
Lyrics
Here's to old RPI, her fame may never die.
Here's to old Rensselaer, she stands today without a peer.
Here's to those olden days,
Here's to those golden days,
Here's to the friends we made at dear old RPI.
Roadmap
Dances
While playing Alma Mater, the band sways back and forth each measure (i.e.- to the left one measure, then to the right the next). The sway always starts to the person's LEFT regardless of orientation to the conductor/rest of the band (Exception-conductors will occaissionally sway inverted to the rest of the band).
History
At the start of the 2005-06 hockey season, the band began going up into the stands to play Alma Mater during the second period break. It was well received, so the band still does it today.
