Pride of Princeton march adopted as city official song
Princeton approves Pride of Princeton as the city march after West Point composers Richard and Colé honor Jim Childers, a major donor of marching band music. The work, dedicated to Childers, builds on lyrics celebrating Princeton and West Point collaboration.
Pride of Princeton lyrics and military music donor honored
West Point staff sergeant Douglas A. Richard composed lyrics praising Princeton as a progressive city. Local figure Childers applauds the piece, notes interest in a second verse, and donates his 5,000 march collection to the U.S. Military Academy while sending tapes to bands in Britain, Norway, France, and Germany.
