Alma Mater
When, through thy portals, fair old Newark's twilight falls, Bringing its silence to our high school halls, In that happy moment, love for Alma Mater swells, And the heart outpouring of her glory tells. Chorus: Newark, Alma Mater, Fairest theme of all our praise, Newark, Alma Mater, Ever blest thy days. Far from thy portals yearly rove thy loving sons; Yet, in their dreaming, e'er thy name returns. 'Tis the same fond spirit, which the memory gushes o'er. And the lips but echo that old song of yore. |

VOLUNTEERING
There are four major booster activities at the football games:
- Uniform Duty: Uniforms are stored in the band room. Students come to the door of the store room before the game and get their bagged uniforms. Afterwards, the students re-bag their uniform and return them to the store room where the volunteers hang them up.
- Chaperoning: For away games, each bus needs a parent on it to be sure everyone is on board and seated.
- Booster Table: During the first half of the game we sell fundraising items at the Booster Table. After halftime, the items are boxed up and taken back to the band room. Generally volunteers work in two shifts: 1) Setting Up and Pre-Game through the 1st Quarter or 2) 2nd Quarter through Halftime and Breaking Down
- Pit: Working the "Pit" means helping students to load and unload the instruments that remain on the sidelines during the show (xylophones, vibraphones, percussion, etc.) as well as the ladders that the drum majors stand on. After the show, all items are taken back to the band room (home games) or truck (away games).
- distributing the uniforms before the game and putting them away afterwards,
One of the perks of helping with the above items is that you get free admission to the game!
