You realize that Cherokee is unique to Port Neches-Groves High School, right?

No. Cherokee was arranged by PN-G Band Director Frank Giovale in 1957. Lyrics were added by Drum Major Lynne Jeffrey in 1959. Although the melody of the song was copied from the solo in Caravan, an old jazz song, the dynamics were changed to fit a fight song, instrument parts were added (such as a part for percussion and a counter melody for the trumpets), and the intro and closing were both composed solely by Giovale. The song is virtually original and unique to PN-G.

Firm together stand
Always true and faithful
Steadily we’ll face the world so fearlessly and
Through the years that follow,
Pledge our loyalty for the Red and Blue

Bandkid, I've been trying to locate the waltz video of that song. Do you know where I can look?

The original jazz number by Ray Noble was also titled "Cherokee". It's been performed by numerous jazz bands through the years but here's one site where you can play the mp3.

Cherokee will be played 4,373 times by half-time. It will be closer to 10,000 times for the game! :woohoo:

And I will be singing along every time,

"poor little indian boy....."

Wow, the envy from the little doggies who had their butts handed to them year after is evident even after moving away. And don't even try this we own you now crap because Ned has yet to beat us in the Faircloth era!! Poor little bullpip. Moved away but brought high school angst with him.

WOW, I didn't realize how bad DOGS are disliked over there. And from me, there is no envy at all. I think what we (NED-PNG) have is an incredibly special rivalry that alot of times gets emotional. But I assure you I have no envy whatsoever.

If I'm not mistaken,, ya'll have beat us a grand total of ONE time under the BF "era", unless of course, he has coached there longer than I am aware of. And it's BULLPUP , just for the record.

Hopefully, you'll hear our fight song quite a few times throughout the game :hookem:





Ya'll have a fight song? Hopefully it's not the A&M fight song, that 174 other schools use.

And what may I ask is wrong with the A&M fight song???? I happen to love it!!!
You know deep down ya really love it too!!!

;D

I think I remember seeing an old video of it on YouTube a few years ago. I'll do some searching and see what I can find.

I could not agree more yankeedawg. NED-PNG is a very special rivalry. I would have to put it with any rivalry in the state. We don't have anything down here to compare toMid County Madness! I also don't think onw win or one year constitutes an "era" but let the indians have their day. The Dogs will be back!

GO CATS! GO DOGS!

Anyone else on here remember PNG beating those from the other side of tracks 20 years in a row? I do.

Actually we didn't win 20 years in a row. We just didn't lose. There were a couple or so ties in that 20 year period. I remember when they finally beat us. You would have thought they won the World Series or something the way they were acting. (But I really don't blame them.)
