Everything about Gvsu Victory totally explained
"GVSU Victory!" which is sometimes referred to as "Grand Valley Victory" is the fight song for the
Grand Valley State University Lakers.
The music was composed by GVSU (then GVSC) band director William Root. The lyrics were written by GVSC band members Maris Tracy and Kathleen Ure. The lyrics by Tracy and Ure were selected as the winning submission on October 25, 1978 after a contest sponsored by the Office of Student Life and the Student Senate.
GVSU Victory has undergone minor changes since it was officially introduced in 1978. Two versions of the song currently exist, although there's no difference in the lyrics, and only minor variations in the music.
Lyrics
We want a Grand Valley victory!
As the Lakers we've pride.
Our teams will lead us on.
Blue and white, we're at your side!
We want a Grand Valley victory,
As our foes will quickly see.
Raise your voices and cheer
For a vic-to-ry!
FIGHT! FIGHT! FIGHT!
GO LAKERS!
Alterations
The song has been sung, incorrectly, with the word "on" replacing the word "at" in the last line of the first stansa. Additionally, some people chant "Let's Go Blue" between the two stansas. However, this prevents the singer from correctly beginning the second without truncating "We want a" from the first line.
Although "GO LAKERS!" has been part of the song since its inception, in actuality, it's almost always absent.
Listen to "GVSU Victory!"
