What are some Notre Dame cheers I should know?
Here are two important songs that you'll hear constantly during your four years at Notre Dame. We'll spend Welcome Week helping you learn them so you're ready when it's time to share that Fighting Irish pride! (P.S. Both songs are played by the AMAZING Notre Dame Marching Band.
Alma Mater
Notre Dame, our Mother
Tender, strong, and true Proudly in thy heavens, Gleams thy gold and blue. Glory’s mantle cloaks thee Golden is thy fame, And our hearts forever, Praise thee Notre Dame, And our hearts forever, Love thee Notre Dame. We sing this at the end of every football game, as well as some other University events or masses. |
Notre Dame Victory MarchCheer, cheer for old Notre Dame,
Wake up the echoes cheering her name, Send a volley cheer on high, Shake down the thunder from the sky. What though the odds be great or small Old Notre Dame will win over all, While her loyal sons and daughters March on to victory! "The greatest of alllll university fight songs: the Notre Dame Victory March!" This is an upbeat song played during sporting events to get the crowd excited. |
