The Grambling Fight Song Grew out of a class project, where Conrad Hutchinson was a student at Vandercook School of Music in Chicago.
Charles Young, who was band director of Grambling Lab High School, was roommates with Conrad Hutchinson
As a class project, they were instructed to write a fight song.
The song was so inspiring, that they brought the song to Grambling.
Along with Willie Wiley, whom was an assistant band director at Grambling State university, they composed the words to the fight song.
This took place in the 1960's.
