With the Philadelphia Eagles heading to their fourth Super Bowl, “Fly, Eagles, Fly” is once again being sung loud and proud in our Delaware County communities.

You can thank Upper Darby native Bobby Mansure and Brian Saunders for the version we all sing today, writes Kevin Tustin in a Jan. 25, 2018 Daily Times article.  

Mansure started the Eagles Pep Band in 1996, made up of four talented strolling musicians, “charming fans with a grassroots musical performing style,” according to the Philadelphiaeagles.com website.

Those talented musicians are Mansure himself, Skull, Brian Saunders, and Bruce Mulford.

The band has appeared on ESPN Monday Night Football, NFL Network, The Food Network Tailgate Show, and at the Republican and Democratic National Convention.

The current version of “Fly, Eagles, Fly” is performed for fans prior to kickoff at every Eagles game and following every Eagles touchdown.

“When they sing it, they believe it. It transports them to a common goal of winning the Super Bowl,” Mansure said in 2018.

The song is based on an original, longer “Eagles Victory Song” created in the 1950s by Philly ad men Charles J. Borrelli and Roger Courtland.
