Bass Trombone,Horn,Trumpet,Tuba - Level 3 - Digital Download SKU: A0.1116030 Composed by William A. Dougherty, Jr. Arranged by Robert Coil. 20th Century,March,Traditional. 11 pages. Polished Brass #717729. Published by Polished Brass (A0.1116030). This song is one of two fight songs frequently played at Ohio State University athletic events. Over the years it has become popular at many other schools in the state, and is often played and sung with words adapted to the local team. The song was composed by William A. Dougherty, Jr. in 1915, while he was a varsity manager for the football team. The first trumpet carries the melody, with the trombone providing a counter melody and the tuba setting the beat. The French horn and second trumpet provide the harmony elements. The arrangement is simple enough that it could be played in the cold, or while moving, but my favorite is to be seated in a comfortable auditorium.
