After every touchdown (either team), field goal, kickoff, time out, and substitution. Thirty years later, I find out that the song was adopted by my sons' middle school band, and then their high school band as well. I'm afraid to leave the house. I still hear that damn song in my sleep. And now I was invited to play in the UCLA Alumni Band. Guess what we have to learn first?U-C-L-A! Fight! Fight! Fight!

Ours was "Washington&   Lee Swing", and we tubas transposed our part up 1/2 step, so we were in B major against the rest of the band's B flat major.  The effect was that of a low pitch aural drill, and no-one could figure out how the band could play the piece so well but make it sound so irritatingly wrong. PC
