fight songs

Stadium rally music

Fight songs are rousing anthems associated with sports teams, especially at American colleges and universities.

They're played at games to rally fans and players, typically featuring simple melodies, school colors, and mascot references that crowds can sing together: The marching band struck up the fight song after every touchdown.

The term extends to any energizing anthem adopted by a group.
