University Band
How our hearts swell with glowing great pride when we see
Uni band on the march in its yellow and blue.
First comes twirling his mace round with great dignity
The imposing drum major who makes much ado;
Then the boys who are playing our "Loyalty"
And the great title drum always goes along, too.

First comes twirling his mace round with great dignity
The imposing drum major who makes much ado;
Then the boys who are playing our "Loyalty"
And the great title drum always goes along, too.
The block I and Illini they form on the field.
Strains of "Hail to the Orange" rise gently and swell
On the air as the leader his baton doth wield
With soft waves, as a wizard of old wove his spell,
And standing uncovered, the crowd can but yield
To the melody sweet that we all know so well.
