ARN isn't going anywhere. I think most people in Band don't get tired of it, even after four years. I think nearly every bandie who goes to enough games forms an unbreakable association between ARN and the first classic victory they witness. For me, it's the football upset at U$C in 2007. The song is the soundtrack to seeing SoCal's Finest run off the field, National Championship hopes dashed. It's hard to imagine memories like that losing their influence over keeping ARN in its role.

Fun Fact: I didn't write the arrangement, but "Everything Is Quite Decent at the Moment" ("Oompah ARN") on the The One, The Only album is my contribution to the song's history, from a joke in the script for the "Marching Cardinal" show.
