Wikipedia article


'Come Join The Band' is the official fight song of Stanford University. The lyrics were written in 1907 by screenwriter and playwright Aurania Rouverol, then a student at Stanford, and are set to the trio from Robert Browne Hall's 'New Colonial March.' Although 'Come Join the Band' remains Stanford's official fight song, the Stanford Band nowadays plays 'All Right Now' as their usual fight song at football games.
