Quote:Written in 1949 by Rolfe Kennard ('24) and music by Oliver C. Zinmeister, the William and Mary Victory March is a classic, rousing fight song that has since been lost to obscurity.* I can only speculate as to why the pep band almost never plays it--although as a Tribe fan I would hardly be surprised if this enjoyable tradition was simply discarded amid a long lull of administrative indifference.

To give you something to look at, I've paired the tune with a few photos of memorable moments/figures from decades of William and Mary football and men's basketball.

The recording comes from the Swem Library digital archives, and this piece and a collection of other recordings by the now-defunct W&M marching band (remember what I said earlier about discarded traditions?) are available here: https://digitalarchive.wm.edu/handle/...
