Welcome Back......

​The "Crosstown Showdown" on Friday, October 20th was a very special evening for Big Red Band members of all generations.  This "Welcome Back"  evening saw the return and acknowledgement of many generations of Big Red Drum Majors dating back to the 1950's.  We were also able to give our personal thanks to two of the last three Big Red Band Directors dating back to 1968,  to which our halftime show celebrating the Port Huron High School 150th Anniversary was dedicated.  THANK YOU to past Drum Majors, Mr. Payton, Mr. Clark and Mr. Griffith (Unable to attend) for our very proud heritage.  It was an honor to have you in the stands for our halftime show!!!  

​Once a Big Red.....Always a Big Red!!!!!

PHHS  School  Song

The PHHS School Song or "Fight Song" as it is called today, was composed in 1941 by Orville Payton as part of a school-wide contest for students attending Port Huron High School.

                        
"Come On and Join Our Song For Port Huron High
The Best School In This Land
Grand and Glorious, We'll Be Victorious,
The Red and White Shall Stand

Oh, She's The Stronghold Of Our Community,
She Stand's For All That's Right!
So Fight, Fight, Fight For Alma Mater
And Show Them With Our Might

CHORUS
               
Fight!  Fight!  Fight!  Fight!
On To Victory

Fight! Fight! Fight! Fight!
Shall Our Watchword Be

So Come On Join Our Song For Port Huron High
Champions Now Are We!

So Fight, Fight, Fight For Alma Mater
And Sing For Victory!"  

PHHS  Alma  Mater

"Come Join In Song Of Gladness
To Pledge Our Loyalty
For This, Our Alma Mater
We'll Cherish Endlessly

In Hearts That Are United,
Live Thoughts That Never Die
Of Days We Spent Together
At Our Port Huron High

Now Let Us All Endeavor
To Make Achievements Great
So Port Huron May Be Proud Of
Those Who Graduate

We Join Once More Our Voices
In This Our Farewell Song
The Red And White We Honor
Today And All Life Long"
