Question Rio Mesa High School's Alma Mater- Composer is Unknown

Many arr.'s have been made for the school's music department, but this is from the original score.

(re-scored by Me)

LYRICS:

March ev-er on-ward to our goal with spar - tan red and black
our ban-ner high our e-choes roll no hon - or shall it lack.
Through the years we will not falter for vic - tory is our cry.
Oh, we all hail thee spar - tans, of r - io mes - s High!

It seems to be quite straight forward. Is there really a need for the piano, or could the chorus be a cappella? The reason why I ask is because the piano part doesn't necessarily add or subtract from the given choral sound, yet it is not entirely the same, either. There are some parts where it follows along with only the middle voices. It seems like such a strange part to highlight. I would say, if you must reduce the piano part, you should either make it identical with the chorus parts, or completely seperate, so that it is it's own entity.

Also, as a note, it would be a lot easier to comment on your prosidy if you included the text into the score. Could you possibly add it back in and repost it?

Ok, much easier to understand, thank you. The one note I have about this piece textually, is it seems you are trying to apocopate the word "victory" into a two syllable word. I don't think you necessarily have to do this, but if you chose to, I would include an apostrophe between the 't' and the 'r', making the word "vict'ry", which is then a two-syllable word. Other than that, I think the prosidy is quite good, and should be quite nice for a graduation service.
