"Hail to the Orange" is the alma mater of the University of Illinois at Urbana–Champaign. It was written in 1910 by two students, Harold V. Hill (music) and Howard R. Green (lyrics) as part of a group of songs intended for a skit contest. They didn't find a publisher so they changed the words to "Hail to the Purple, Hail to the Gold" and gave it to the national secretary of their fraternity, Sigma Alpha Epsilon, who had it copyrighted in 1915 and published in the fraternity songbook. However "Hail to the Orange" continued to be played and sung at Illinois, and was published several times.^[1]^[2]

The lyrics as written by Howard Green are:

Hail to the Orange, Hail to the Blue

Hail Alma Mater, Ever so true

We love no other, So let our motto be

Victory, Illinois Varsity!

The song, along with "March of the Illini" and "Pride of the Illini," is part of the "Three-In-One" performed by the Marching Illini at the end of every halftime performance.^[3]

The music is included in the "Illini Fantasy," a medley of Illinois songs and marches arranged for concert band by James Curnow in 1970 as a commission from Director of Bands Harry Begian.

"Hail to the Orange" is also performed during every chime concert on the 15-bell chime in Altgeld Hall.
