[edit] Corps Song

The Corps Song is "The Ghost of Southwind" and is set to the theme from "Legends of the Fall"

The ghost of Southwind, lives forever...

As days go by, we shall go on
With the memories and the friendships that last so long
Our family will cherish forever and ever always.

Our heads help up high, with the pride that we share.
We stand as one forever.
The future holds what legends have left --
watch as our march goes on.

Rhythms through time
With the music we climb
Dancing on we shall find

The ghost of Southwind lives forever
Our loving kin shall rise together
As heroes fade, the legends live on
We turn to go, but live as one.
