'On, Brave Old Army Team' | West Point Band

The bold and cinematic reworking of “On, Brave Old Army Team,” arranged by Sgt. 1st Class Noah Taylor, breathes new life into a song that’s been rallying Army fans for over a century. In 1910, 1st Lt. Philip Egner—one of the West Point Band’s most influential figures and its best-known Teacher of Music—improvised the tune while walking back to his quarters after collaborating on a new cheer. He quickly scribbled the melody on his shirt cuff, and that impromptu moment became the fight song we know and love today. The West Point Band’s inspirational new arrangement will make you think about Army football in a whole new way!
