Facts about AGGIE SONGS: A set of hand-played tubular carillon chimes were installed into Old Main Tower in 1914-1915. These chimes were played regularly for over 60 years. Once removed, the old tubular chimes were kept in a storage unit for over 30 years, when they were restored and rebuilt to ring for this recording. The old carillon bells were replaced in 1978 by the Frances Winton Champ carillon, an electronic carillon instrument used to this day as the Old Main Tower Bell. "Hail The Utah Aggies" became the official fight song of Utah State University on 13 October, 1992. It was written and adopted in 1933 as the result of a song-writing contest on campus. "Alma Mater" was written by Dr. Theodore M. Burton, a member of the Utah State University chemistry department staff. It was the winning piece in a 1952 campus song-writing contest. The U.S.U. Scotsmen Pipe and Drum Corps was started in the fall of 2010 by Dr. Craig Jessop, Dean of the Caine College of the Arts, and Matthew Earl, who served as Pipe Major for that season. The Scotsmen perform at all major University functions. "Amazing Grace" was sung at the candlelight vigil for the van tragedy of 2005, and is included on this disc as a tribute to those Aggies that have left a lasting legacy at the University. Aggie Music Project (AMP) features faculty from the Utah State University Department of Music including Jon Gudmundson, saxophone; Todd Fallis, trombone; Michael Christiansen, guitar; Max Matzen, trumpet; Greg Wheeler, saxophone; Michael Huff, keys; Jim Schaub, bass and Jason Nicholson, drums. "Those Aggie Blues" is originally a classic Duke Ellington and Johnny Hodges tune, Jeep's Blues. The Campbell-Holtkamp organ in the Kent Concert Hall on the USU campus was restored in 2012 thanks to a generous donation by Paul and Paulette Campbell, owners of Campbell Scientific based in Logan. "I Believe That We Will Win" is chanted at every Aggie home basketball game and has become an Aggie tradition.
