Oh, sound the call to dear old Interlochen:
Land of the stately pine.
Where stalwart hands and loyal ever greet you.
Faithful to Auld Lang Syne.
Old friends you'll meet,
New ones you'll greet,
A welcome you'll ever find.
So, sound the call to dear old Interlochen!
Shrine of the muse divine.
"SOUND THE CALL"
