We Were Soldiers

In January 2002, the Cadet Glee Club was privileged to record the original hymn, Mansions of the Lord, by Randall Wallace and Nick Glennie-Smith for the closing credits of the Paramount feature film, We Were Soldiers. The film is based on the book by LTG(Ret.) Harold Moore and Joe Galloway, We Were Soldiers Once and Young. General Moore’s and Mr. Galloway’s book is found on the Chief of Staff of the Army’s reading list. Mr. Wallace generously brought one of the premiere showings to the U.S. Military Academy, General Moore’s alma mater. Photos from that special evening are available in the photo gallery.

The Glee Club welcomes some 25-30 new members each year. Membership is by invitation following audition with the Glee Club director and interview with the club's cadet leadership. The Glee Club seeks musicians with fine voices, strong reading skills, and excellent tonal memory. Auditions occur in the fall. Dates and times are announced throughout the Corps during Re-Organization Week.
