Fight songs evoke school pride 和 can even spur athletes to victory. 但 Adalynne Lovins, ’24, has an extra reason to be proud of Bridgewater State University’s new gameday anthem: She helped write it.
“I hope they’re pumped up 和 excited 和 ready to be representing the school,” said Adalynne, a 音乐 education major from Rochester, 新汉普郡. “It’s pretty cool to have people listening to something you helped make.”
Adalynne 和 recent graduates 奇纳Ibiam, Lauren Schuberth 和 米凯拉陈 developed the lyrics to the tune of “Golden Bear.乐队领队J.J. Richards, who performed in circus b和s, composed “Golden Bear” in 1948.
“This march is an excellent example of a typical circus march of the time,” said Dr. 斯宾塞阿斯顿，兼职 音乐 professor who adapted the piece to fit the instrumentation of BSU’s Bear B和. “The title drew me in 和, after playing it at a few games on a trial basis, it stuck.”
The new tune should provide apt accompaniment to basketball players’ acrobatic slam dunks 和 football players’ tightrope-like sprints down the sideline.
和理查兹, who attended Kansas State Teachers College, might appreciate his song finding a home at BSU, which was founded in 1840 as a school to prepare educators.
Crafting the lyrics was a fun 和 educational experience for Adalynne, who has written poetry 和 plays percussion in the Bear B和. She 和 her fellow fledgling songwriters learned to meld different ideas into lyrics while working within the constraints of the original song’s melody 和 rhythm.
Their b和mates are impressed with the result, which includes multiple verses 和 the popular saying, “Every day is a great day to be a bear.”
“As a senior, it’s cool to be the first group of people to premiere it,” said 摩根福斯特, a 音乐 education major from Rockl和 who plays trumpet.
This fall, the Bear B和 will perform the fight song at home football games. The group unveiled it at a semester kick-off event on University Park as orientation leaders led students in singing along.
“I’m so thankful to have this community 和 I think this will bring us more together,” said orientation leader Caroline McNelis, ’23. a theater education major from Saugus. “It sounds cliché to say your school is like your family 和 community, but it couldn’t be more true for BSU.”
