To celebrate Mohawk’s 40th anniversary next September, we’re bringing back the Mohawk College Song. The hit single was performed live for the first time during Mohawk’s first graduation ceremony in 1967.
We’re looking for a 2007 remix of the Mohawk College Song. And we’re calling on all professional and aspiring musicians to put their tracks into the mix.
Show off your musical talents by posting whatever instrumental version of the song suits your tastes – blues, country, funk, hip-hop, jazz, gospel, alt-rock, heavy metal, pop, dance, disco, reggae and even polka. Or you can post stand-alone tracks – vocal, drum, horns, keyboard, guitar and let your fellow musicians build off and mash up what you’ve created.
In the Spring of 2007, we’ll post some of the best versions of the Mohawk College Song for everyone to listen to, download and vote on.
The top vote-getting song will be performed during 40th anniversary events throughout 2007-08.
For more information, contact Jay Robb, Media Relations, at 905-575-1212 ext. 3965.
 The Official Mohawk College School Song Lyrics (circa 1967)
Composed by Mohawk staff David Leishman and Ronald Slavik
In the halls of Mohawk College
Steadfastly our sights we raise
Testing truths, exploring knowledge
Heartened by each conquered phase
Gathered we with purpose certain
Strengthened by these words we sing
From the crest of Mohawk’s mountain
Let our college anthem ring
When from here our pathways lead us
In our hearts where’er we roam
Linger thoughts of friendships precious
And of this our other home
Gathered we with purpose certain
Strengthened by these words we sing
From the crest of Mohawk’s mountain
Let our college anthem ring
