The Orange and Blue

[2] Sheet music for the song was published in 1925 which listed George Hamilton as the author.

Thornton W. Allen, a prolific compiler, composer and arranger of American university alma maters and college football fight songs, arranged a version of the musical score in 1935, with "Words by George Hamilton."

[3] The musical arrangement that is often played during football and basketball games as well as other Florida Gators athletic contests to rally fans and show support for the university's athletic teams is actually only the song's chorus.

"The Orange and Blue" in its original presentation contained a first verse that sang of the university's bravery and "Dixie's" pride in the Gators along with the well-known chorus, however, The Pride of the Sunshine marching band and the university's other pep bands never play any part of the song other than the chorus and a break strain found in the "pregame" version of the song.

We’ll sing a song for the flag today, Cheer for the team at play!
