The Colonial anthem [1] is the official state music used at official functions of the Twelve Colonies of Kobol.
The anthem plays briefly during a fly-by of the last Viper Mark VII squadron of Galactica during its decommissioning ceremonies held in its new museum, shortly before a speech given by Commander William Adama (Miniseries, Night 1).
The anthem also plays in a documentary on the crew of Galactica created by D'Anna Biers. A crewman, Stan Gibson,[2] whistles a part of the anthem while he mops a deck on the ship, then an orchestral version of the anthem bursts into the documentary as several pilots enter the hallway to give the film an uplifting heroic appeal (Final Cut).

- The Colonial anthem is, of course, an homage to the Original Series's main theme.
