Bow Down to Washington

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Bow Down to Washington is the official fight song of the University of Washington. It was written by Lester Wilson in 1915 for a competition requesting a new song for the university. The competition was sponsored by The Daily, and had a grand prize of US$25 (the equivalent of $548 in 2011). "Bow Down to Washington" was first used as a fight song at the Washington-California football game on November 6, 1915.^[1] It is typically played and sung at all University of Washington sporting events at which the University of Washington Husky Marching Band is present, including all football, basketball, and volleyball games.
