MMA March<\/h1>\n

The MMA March was written by Albert B. Bennett Jr. \u201954 who\u00a0gifted it to the Academy. It was\u00a0played officially for the first time in MMA history at the Homecoming March On before the 43rd Admiral\u2019s Cup football game on Saturday, September 19, 2015. Bennett and his wife, Jane, were present to hear it. His\u00a0gift to MMA is\u00a0a lasting musical tradition for generations to come; his love of music is carried on\u00a0through\u00a0the regimental band at Maine Maritime Academy.<\/p>\n

Spirited Words<\/h2>\n

Stand up and shout for good ole MMA!
\nTake off your hats and raise a cheer,
\nRAH! RAH!
\nSing out from bow to stern,
\nlet the words confirm,
\nMMA will go on to victory!
\nWhile we\u2019re ashore or on the State of Maine,
\nupon the open sea to every foreign shore,
\non to that mighty goal
\nwith fighting heart and soul
\nraise a cheer for ole MMA!<\/p>\n

Let the echo of our cry,
\nring from deck to open sky,
\nand feel the spirit of our song
\nas we march our way along!<\/p>\n

Training in fidelity,
\nnever fading from the way
\nwe\u2019re letting honor be our guide,
\nand the order of the day.<\/p>\n

When marching on you\u2019ll hear us sing this song!<\/p>\n

Stand up and shout for good ole MMA!
\nTake off your hats and raise a cheer,
\nRAH! RAH!
\nSing out from bow to stern,
\nlet the words confirm,
\nMMA will go on to victory!
\nWhile we\u2019re ashore or on the State of Maine
\nupon the open sea to every foreign shore
\non to that mighty goal
\nwith fighting heart and soul,
\nraise a cheer for ole M. M. A
\nRAH! RAH!<\/p>\n
