Old vs New Notre Dame Victory March

The Notre Dame Victory March was originally created by Michael J. Shea and his brother John F. Shea. Michael wrote the music while John served as the original lyricist. Both of the Shea brothers were alumni at Notre Dame, with Michael graduating in 1905 and John earning degrees there in 1906 and 1908. The song made its debut on the Notre Dame campus on December 1, 1908 in Washington Hall at an event honoring the University president. Lyrics: Cheer, cheer for old Notre Dame Wake up the echoes cheering her name Send a volley cheer on high Shake down the thunder from thе sky What though the odds be great or small Old Notrе Dame will win over all While her loyal sons and daughters March on to victory I DO NOT OWN THIS MUSIC
