Another academic year at Notre Dame has come to an end. Naturally, the year couldn’t reach its official conclusion without the annual commencement ceremony at Notre Dame Stadium.
The 2024 ceremony brought a special conclusion besides some parting words from the [autotag]Rev. John Jenkins[/autotag], the university’s outgoing president. After all the speeches were given and diplomas were disbursed, the High Kings, an Irish folk band, provided a little entertainment.
The group performed three songs, including Notre Dame, Our Mother and a new song dedicated the university entitled Glorio (For Notre Dame). Here’s the performance in its entirety:
Is it out of the realm of possibility that a new Notre Dame anthem has been born? Everything one could want in a song dedicated to the university is right there, and the university would be out of its mind not to fully embrace it.
We’ll see if Glorio has a serious life at Notre Dame beyond this ceremony. Until then, congratulations to the Class of 2024!
