Draft:Miami Trace High School Alma Mater

Submission declined on 30 June 2024 by DoubleGrazing (talk).

This draft's references do not show that the subject qualifies for a Wikipedia article. In summary, the draft needs multiple published sources that are:

in-depth (not just passing mentions about the subject)
reliable
secondary
independent of the subject

Make sure you add references that meet these criteria before resubmitting. Learn about mistakes to avoid when addressing this issue. If no additional references exist, the subject is not suitable for Wikipedia.

The proposed article does not have sufficient content to require an article of its own, but it could be merged into the existing article at Miami Trace High School. Since anyone can edit Wikipedia, you are welcome to add that information yourself. Thank you.

If you have not resolved the issues listed above, your draft will be declined again and potentially deleted.
If you need extra help, please ask us a question at the AfC Help Desk or get live help from experienced editors.
Please do not remove reviewer comments or this notice until the submission is accepted.

"Miami Trace Alma Mater" is the school song for Miami Trace High School^[1]. It was written in 1962 for the Miami Trace High School Band by Rosemary Williams.

Lyrics

Written by Rosemary Williams, 1962
Miami Trace, Miami Trace, we'll honor thee for aye
Our loyalty to thy dear halls will never waive
As years roll on, we'll think upon the joys we can't replace
Thy truth will guide us onward with pride, for Miami Trace, for Miami Trace^[2]

Performances

The Alma Mater is traditionally performed during pre-game festivities at Friday night football games and other school festivities by the Miami Trace Marching Panther Pride.

Miami Trace's A Capella choir: Soundsations, also performed the song, with their rendition being posted on the school's YouTube page.

*Misconceptions have occurred over the note for "ward" in the last line. The band arrangement has the note marked as an A natural, while the choral version has a C.

The A natural notation has been marked, as it is most commonly heard this way.
