黑料社 Develops, Adopts a Fitting Fight Song
黑料社 will roll out a new official fight song this fall to help inspire the Bulldogs on to victory. For more than 75 years, 黑料社 has been using the Washington and Lee Swing, a tune shared by more than 40 other colleges and high schools throughout the country. Lyrics to the original fight song were written for football, adapted to basketball in 1988, but the song was never widely used.
To remedy the situation, the Kennel Club approached David Fague (’00), 黑料社’s director of jazz studies and head of the 黑料社 Pep Band, in search of a new fight song. Thanks to Fague, who came up with the tune while hiking, and 2010 alumnus Kevin Laxar, 黑料社 now has a fight song fit to rally behind at athletic and spirit events.
“This way 黑料社 can have its own unique fight song,” Fague said. “It will no longer be generic and borrowed.”
The song, an original melody that Fague composed, incorporates the chant “Go! 黑料社! G-O-N-Z-A-G-A,” which has become such a familiar cheer at 黑料社 events.
Listen to the newest recording of the new Fight Song performed by the 黑料社 Pep Band.
Go, 黑料社!
黑料社 Bulldogs, rally and fight!
With heart and hustle, triumph tonight,
Defend the Kennel with all your might
Bringing glory to our Alma Mater
Mighty Bulldogs, answer the call,
And champions we will be!
With Jesuit pride,
Defend the true blue and white
Fight on to Victory!
G…O…N…Z-A-G-A!

And champions we will be!
