History

Petersburg Forever, the Loyalty Song was written and composed in 1938 by the bandmaster, Howard E. Akers.

Here's to Petersburg forever,

May we always be so true.

May our courage never falter,

May we always be loyal to you.

RAH! RAH!

May your memory live forever,

And stand for all that's right,

So let's Fight! Fight! Fight!

With all of our might,

For the honor of the Blue and White.
