Over the course of the past century and a half, students, alumni, and faculty have created a number of traditions which have bound them together across generations. One of Illinois' enduring traditions is its music. While the oldest living alumni might not recognize the sprawling campus with its state-of-the-art facilities and diverse curricula, they would no doubt take great joy in knowing that today's students cherish many of the same tunes they held so dear. Join Ryan Ross for a toe-tapping musical presentation on the history of familiar songs - Illinois Loyalty, Hail to the Orange, Oskee Wow Wow, Three-in-One, and others - that have made it into the permanent band and choral repertoire. He will also talk about some of the many Tin Pan Alley-era Illinois tunes that have faded into obscurity.
