Camp Color War Songs

Tagola Alma Mater
Grey Planeteers

Tagola your memory
Will recall to us a symphony
Made of earth, sky and purity
Blending richly in wondrous tones

Your memory of constant truth
Is the theme that guides us through our youth
And your harmony forms the root
Of our love Tagola for you

When G-d creates the blue of night
Your hills give forth a splendrous sight
The echoes of a camper's glee
Are sensed in your serenity
And slowly as the darkness fades
You're brought to life anew...
And we're thankful for the beauty that is you

Tagola your memory
Will recall to us a symphony
Made of earth and sky and purity
Blending richly in wondrous tones

Your memory of constant truth
Is the theme that guides us through our youth
And your harmony forms the root
Of our love Tagola for you

Of our love, Ta-go-la for you...

MANY MORE TO COME   Love, Bette Jane

Grey Pioneers March

Wagons rolling along, roll along, roll along, roll along
Pioneers with guns and a song roll along, roll along, roll along, roll along
Dreams that we held for so long roll along, roll along, roll along
Drifting to fulfill our destiny
Wagons moving ahead, move ahead, move ahead, move ahead
Building a mighty homestead move ahead (3X)
Land where no blood will be shed move ahead (3X)
Drifting along to fulfill our destiny
You can tell it by gum
You can feel the hum
We're moving on, you can hear us come
Look around, look around, look around
We're still a pioneering nation
A hundred and fifty million strong
From Jamestown to New England
We have grown to be a big land
Our dream is a great American song
From the shores of the Atlantic gigantic, America has grown
East and West we have expanded
North and South we have commanded to uphold for freedom that's our goal
Democracy, unity, forward ever free, free, free
This is my country land of my birth
This is my country grandest on Earth
I pledge thee my allegiance
America the bold
 For this is my country to have and to hold.

And the sea is our field of conquest
Surging on 'gainst the foe
Trading blow for blow
As we conquer them and enter into battle

The world is sounding victory for Blue.

Navy Blue-Alma Mater

When Taps has been blown to say the summer is through
We'll all treasure memories that were made here with you
The joys we have tasted and the friends we have made
Will live with us forever
The trees whisper softly in the sweet evening air
The starlit filled heavens are a picture so rare
And there on the mountain there's a place heaven blessed
Tagola of wondrous beauty
Each night at evening time, we sail along the moonlit skies
Across the shimmering lake
When each flickering candlelight has finally died
The spark from her flame will be remembered by and by
And though there's no candle we will have her remains
We'll always have our memories.

Blue Legionnaires March

From out of the night till dawn
A legion of valiant men go marching through

Our banners are waving high
The shield of the legionnaires will stand for strength
With courage and truth our cry
We're sure of a victory over Grey
And as we forge across the sands our fiery battlefields
'Ere reflecting our might
Showing the enemy that we are looming far ahead
In our relentless zeal to fight
While thundering hooves resound
Arabian foes retreat
With our spirit high victory is our destiny
Grey will yield to Legionnaires.

Blue Maccabbee Alma Mater

In a dream we heard the echo of a breeze 'neath the sunswept sky
Calling to the trees of a wondrous camp placed softly in the hills
We'll remember this and we always will
Singing in the breeze is the laughter of a child
We will sing our praises unto you although yoth fades as the years go
Your great flame will linger on
Happy days we spent in joyous bliss tender moments we can reminisce
Camp Tagola, dear Tagola, we lift our hearts in song
Although youth fades as the years go
Your great warmth forever lingers on.

Grey Samurai Alma Mater

Of  our camp Tagola days summer calls us one more
And the memory that remain of love we've gained
Blue and Grey bind us together we shall stand
With our good times behind us walking hand in hand
Though we leave you far behind you will never leave our minds

Blue Viking March

Over waves, over seas
Sailing on to victory
Sails bend with the wind, showing all our mighty strength
Planeteers fear our fleet, face the force, meet defeat
Vikings to the fore,
Enemies from outer space have challenged us to mortal combat
Diving down with rockets flaming
Churning waters cities blazing
Viking me defend your nation
Raise your swords and guard you stations
Strike them down with lightning force
A thousand ships surge o'er the ocean
Their sails unfurl to every gusty breeze
Plowing deep into the darkest depths of the sea
Searching for the enemy
With a mighty shout we will meet the foe
Slashing with gleaming swords of tempered steel
Crashing through their ranks we will fight fearlessly
Oh, Viking men so bold
Planeteers ripped asunder by our mighty thunder
As they see destruction is near
Now the way is clear for the Blue to march to victory
And sink the Planeteers
The enemy in desperation
Flees before our great Blue nation
Victory is ours behold the great Blue Viking team
Now we turn toward the horizon
Home is our destination
Hail, we are supreme
We are the mighty Viking team.
Blue!

Whisper, summer thoughts held dearly
Like the glowing dawn awakening each day
Gently, starlight fills the heavens
And we know the splendor of a camp that is so rare
Dear Tagola
Softly, rustling trees and memories echo from the hills
A song a melody a rhapsody
Lingers through the years
Though the summer's end appears
Our hearts will remain with you
Softly, friendships everlasting we'll recall the joys that we have tasted here with you
Dear Tagola
Lingers through the years, summer's end appears, Tagola
As we leave you now,
Sad to leave you now
As we leave you now.

Grey Cossak Alma Mater
(tune:-The Impossible Dream)
Yes, It seems that the summer's too short
We turn and it passes us by
The friends we have made at Tagola
Will last till the rivers run dry
At night when Tagola's asleep
We look and we follow a star
Then dark passes quickly to daylight
Our thoughts do not wander far
And when we are home
Our thoughts will return
To summer vacation
Our memories burn
And we long to be there, yes we want to be there
In a place where our hearts are so free
And so eager to live
In a place where our troubles are gone
And we play in the sun
At Tagola where our dreams can come true
Tears and laughter are one.

Freedom or death remains our decree
Fighting against all that stand in our way
Onward and upward victory today.

Swiftly as the shadows fall
We recall giants tall
Masters of a giant race
No others can replace
Marching onward prod and tall

Cossacks moving out of hills
Through th steps to the kill
We will smash what's in our way
All Romans fall to Grey!

Chessmen March

The Chessmen sing we’re marching along, with a rum-tum-tiddle, here we come.
The Chessmen sing we’re marching along, with a rum-tum-tiddle, here we come.
 
March along with our grey team, we shall reign supreme,
As the Chessmen sing we’re marching along, with a rum-tum-tiddle, here come.
 
Feet are pounding, come let us fight for our team.
Voices sounding, the grey team will reign supreme.
Heads held high, we’re marching to victory!
 
We’ll fight—with our might—for the great grey team,
For we are twenty-eight strong,
Marching along,
Forging ahead to win every game.
 
Head of the rest,
We are the best,
--------- of Tagola camp.
