Below is a link to a computer generated version of Towson University's new fight song. As you listen, remember that a live acoustical performance by the band will have a very different emotional feel compared to the synthetic computer sounds. Percussion parts are not included in this recording, but this will not change the composition in any way preventing words from being created from this recording.

Melodic Line Only Version:
Towson University's new Fight Song
(for the purposes of writing lyrics, this is the best version to sample)
