Waltz ISU Fight Song

[Detasseler]

Does anybody here know if there is a polka version of the fight song like the band played in the second half yesterday? I heard it a couple of times last year along with the Iowa State Roll Out the Barrel. I was wondering if possubly any band members would know if there was a version online.

Beer Barrel Polka was just Beer Barrel Polka until about 10 years ago, when a couple of pep band trumpet players figured out that ISU Fights could be matched up perfectly with the second half of BBP. It went from 1 trumpet playing to 3 to 5 to the whole section to where it is today.

Waltz Fights has been around for a long time, but was only revived recently after many years of being shelved.

I know BBP Fights hasn't been recorded, and Waltz Fights may have been recorded in the 80s.

There have also been two different "William Tell" openings to Fights over the years, as well as a "mini" Fights that surfaced for about one or two seasons a few years back.

None online that I know of, sorry.

I don't think we've put Waltz Fights on a CD

Well, since that's the case, then whoever compiles the CD's for the band ought to put them both on there as I would definately buy one. Nothing like hearing those two songs on Saturday afternoon at Trice to start off an evening of drinking.
