老實說,我完全沒有意料到,今年2023年國慶,居然請到一整團我們UCLA的Bruins行進樂隊來,讓我整個實在是太驚訝了。
今年是我從UCLA畢業滿20年,沒想到老天竟然送了這個賀禮給我,能在台灣的土地上聽到我們UCLA的戰歌,那個振奮人心的情緒真的實在是太感動了。
昨天2023.10.9. 在中正廟前的自由廣場,一次看到這麼多的Bruins,實在是感動到快哭了,真的怎麼想都沒有想到,會為了國慶把一整團就這樣請到台灣來。原本以為會表演到4:40,結果原來後面預留了約半小時的致詞跟交換禮物時間,不過還好提早到的我,有看到UCLA整場的表演。這天的表演曲目是:
1.Bruin Fanfare/Strike up the Band
2.California Love
3.Let’s Get Loud
4.Suavemente
5.Word Up
6.Mighty Bruins
The Mighty Bruins
We are the Mighty Bruins,
The best team in the West.
We’re marching on to victory,
To conquer all the rest.
We are the Mighty Bruins,
Triumphant evermore.
You can hear from far and near,
The Mighty Bruin roar!
U! (3 claps)
C! (3 claps)
L! (3 claps)
A! (3 claps)
U-C-L-A! Fight! Fight! Fight!
About the Song
To commemorate its 50th anniversary, the UCLA Alumni Association commissioned a new fight song. After a contest soliciting lyrics from students and alumni, Academy Award-winning composer Bill Conti chose the winning lyrics (from Barbara Lamb ’66 and Don Holley ’84) and wrote the music to “Mighty Bruins.” The song made its gridiron debut in fall 1984 at the Stanford football game, with Conti conducting the UCLA Marching Band.
