Every football game, every pep rally, through the halls and ringing through campus the Fight song can be heard by everyone.

With the tune of “Glory, Glory Hallelujah,” chosen by principal Dan Serrano, and the words written by retired teacher Jim Fountain the fight song was born. Serving as a constant reminder that “Victory with honor is ours,” the song is repetitive, non-motivational and needs to be updated.

Some on campus like the song. When asked what he thought about the song, Serrano simply stated, “I like it.” This is not the same case for countless others on campus.

The song is slow and sound very repetitive. Some say all they can here is “Glory, Glory Perry Pumas” the whole time the song is sung. Although it is important to reference to the school, using the word “Puma” seven times within a matter of second sounds redundant.

Usually fight songs motivate the fans, teams and coaches. What the Perry fight song lacks is just that: motivation. The tune of the song slow and does not give a good enough beat to get hyped to. There is not enough flare in the song to keep the crowd going and not enough to give the players energy to feed off of.

Colleges, such as Michigan, Tennessee, and Alabama, have fight songs that stretch back to the beginning of college football.

Not only is the song slow and redundant, but it gets really old, really fast. The tune is an extremely old song and make the song sound more like a hymn then a fight song.

With the current trends in music, an updated tune and words should happen. What better time to update the fight song than with PHS 10th anniversary.

There are many reasons the fight song needs to be revived by but improving the motivation that will rise from behind the song, less-redundant words and a update of the words and tune in the song. If the song were to be update the football games would have a more energetic feel, pep rallies would be more hype.
