Hiraiwa's 'Triumph' is first new fight song since 1978

CE graduate student Hirokazu Hiraiwa (B.S.’04 CE) beat out 15 competitors in a contest to compose a new fight song for the Cal Marching Band, its first new song since 1978.

Hiraiwa won $2,000 and got to conduct the band’s performance of “California Triumph” at the opening football game of the season.

Although he never wrote a song before, Hiraiwa played trombone in the band as an undergraduate. Go to www.calband.berkeley.edu to hear “California Triumph.”
