Songs[edit]
"It's a Long Way to Sacramento"
It's a long way to Sacramento
It's a long way to go
It's a long way to Sacramento
To the place that I've (# of times you have been to state) known
Goodbye Alemany
Farewell regionals
It's a long, long way to Sacramento
But I'm heading there
"Red Shirts Unite"
Red shirts unite
We will go silent to the fight
From the sidelines we will cheer
For when it comes to useless we are here
"There She Goes"
There she goes
There she goes, again
