Roar For Orem High!

This is my high school's fight song.  Unlike other school's fight songs at the time,
it was not based on a popular college fight song, or a rousing march, but was a
completely original piece, composed by Clyde Sandgren and arranged by Ralph
Laycock, whom Mom will recognize as one of the musical legends at BYU.  We
were always so proud to have our own unique fight song!

  1. It is amazing that you still have that! And I can see that you shared your part w/ a couple of other instruments ;)

    Were there words?

    1. There were...though of course I never got to sing them:-)

      It went like this:

      Roar for Orem High...our team is ready for the fray
      Score your battle cry...the gold and blue will win today, so
      Roar for Orem High...forever fight for victory
      A glorious banner we'll unfurl, for every boy, and every girl
      Renew our pledge of loyalty
      So tigers, roar, roar, roar (repeat a ridiculous number of times)
