I never tire of viewing this. And I'm neither an Arkansas alum nor an Arkansas native. My son is in the 2nd row of cellos. The then-new conductor Haas from New York City really knew how to win over the locals in his first concert.

[@safespacebear]

Oh I didn't know that was his first time conducting them. Outstanding! That's a helluva impression to make on a first date

[@tedtalley2709]

@@safespacebear Yes you better believe it! The fellow from Noo Yawk City won over the Arkansan crowd immediately! The red tunic was a surprise. He changed into it quickly off stage just before curtain call and encore. I had been told ahead of time by my son that the encore was going to be fun.

[@stormwarning1235]

LSU fan here. This is awesome👍.

[@steeleboy09]

Die hard OU fan here, but the Arkansas fight song is so amazing! I could legit listen to this all day!!

[@celebrim1]

That was beautiful. You can take the boy out of Arkansas, but you can't take the Arkansas out of the boy.

[@musicmaniac92992]

i have fallen in love with the xylophone player

[@mr.euphonium3789]

That trombone gliss at 1:23 gives me chills

[@rumilb]

Behold, the most beautiful piece of music ever orchestrated.

[@momof3slp]

I never get tired of watching this. It is one of my favorite renditions of the fight song.

[@Nobodyimportant85]

My Mom works at Notre Dame so I'm a Fighting Irish fan but my Aunt works at U of A so I love the Hogs too, and Arkansas Fight always gives me thrills down my spine. WOO PIG! SOOEY!

[@texasboy9036]

As a Texas fan I always like the Arkansas fight song. Crazy how them and Texas are somewhat similar.

[@durindagammill4629]

I was a UofA fan from the womb. My grandson is a 5th generation Razorback on campus. This song means so much to my entire family and still gives me chills when I hear it. I go to SONA faithfully and even at 74, this got us going like no other composition!!!

[@justusmack2474]

The conducting the crowd with the claps is awesome. Woo Pig Forever.

[@pilotwes247]

I'm a WVU fan, but I gotta admit, this is awesome and the hogs fight song is very catchy!

Hit that line, Hit that line, Keep on going, Move that ball right down the field. Give a cheer, Rah! Rah! Never fear, Rah Rah Arkansas will never yield. On your toes Razorbacks to the finish. Carry on with all your might. For it's A-R-K-A-N-S-A-S for Arkansas, Fight, Fight, Fi-i-ight.

[@bsddanw2015]

NEVER

[@willtoneymusic]

So I’m not an Arkansas fan at all, but I played in the Maroon Typhoon which is the marching band at Jones County Junior College in Ellisville, MS. Jones uses this song as their fight song. Many great memories playing Euphonium on this piece of music. That said, I absolutely love this arrangement! My wife was a mallet percussionist and she’s going to be blown away when I show her this video! Thanks for the upload!

[@rabid1rabbit987]

Absolutely stunning!!!! Nice freaking job here 👏 🔥🔥🔥🔥I can't believe I'm just now seeing this! Go Hogs

[@TinasASinger]

I've seen this before but happened upon it again tonight and my 5 year old son said the woo pig sooiee song mommy! He plays violin at his school so he wants to learn to play this now.

[@gregm5497]

This is soooo relevant on November 26, 2021 when the Hogs hit the trifecta!!! Texas A&M, LSU, and tonight… Mizzou!!! WPS!!!

Gives me chills...I will attend the Texas v. Arkansas game on September 11, 2021. I am a UT Austin alumnus. However, I appreciate the tradition and rivalry between Texas and Arkansas. And I love Arkansas Fight! Hook em! PS - The Trombone Sections Rules....

[@gseric4721]

Xylophone player nailed it at the beginning. I wonder why more modern rips of Arkansas' fight song have them excluded. I'm glad the NCAA football games still have them though.

[@ptpothischainwaxtoo3322]

NWA resident here, not a big UofA fan but there is no better fight song than this on game day.
