Resources: Other Alma Maters

March 29-Over the course of working on this project, I have spent countless hours on YouTube listening to various Alma Maters from colleges and universities around the country. Almost every one has a few things in common:

• mention of local geography                                               
• reference to school history
• recording of Alma Mater is from a sporting event

It seems that the most common place to hear an Alma Mater is either after a win in a sporting event, or at a graduation or commencement. So this has given me ideas as to what the atmosphere will be when the Alma Mater is performed. 

Ms. Lord mentioned the other day the idea of trying to find the Alma Maters of other high schools in our area such as Lansing, Newfield, or Dryden to see if they could spark some ideas as to what to make the lyrics about. This will be my next angle to pursue.
