USC TROJAN BAND Rose Bowl 1985 American Band-Fanfare for Common Man

[redletter2008]

SC should go back to these uniforms, but keep the metalic-gold helmets currently used. That would be a great look for a great band. Easily the most famous, most prominent, largest and best marching band in the West. Oh, and they play one of the most famous and well-recognized fight songs in the nation. Fight On Forever Trojans!

[MrOu83]

Why does the USC (Dr. Bartner) pay so little attention to details. They march as if they don't give a damn. Just sort of out there taking a leisurely "strol." Really nochalant style. Body carriage is bad. The position of the instruments is awaful. Some horns are aimed up, other are aimed toward the ground. Has nothing to do with different heights. USC: Look at band such as Ohio State if you want to discover what attention to details is. You look even worse in person. I've seen you.

[redletter2008]

@MrOu83 Well, I have seen the OSU band in person, and they are quite good. So is the USC band, and most objective people would agree. Not sure what the motivation for the little tirade against the famed Trojan Band is - perhaps it is the fact that OSU has not beaten USC on the football field in what? 35 years? 1980, 85, 89, 90, 08, 09 - Buckeye losses - some ass whippings. Maybe OSU football could "discover what attention to detail is" from SC and learn how to beat ANY Trojan team in 4 decades!

What year was this my band director was in usc band in 1992 or 95 that's so cool by the way!!!! XD

[rokeron19]

[rokeron19]

[nmcaia]

Old Lady Liberty lurching out of that box was a groaner. She looked as drunk as the boys from frat row. Today we would do it digitally!

[CarlosIsDown]

They techincally are an American Band. . . Yup

[jimsbandroxmysox]

they have the biggest tuba section

[PianoManTyler]

i think they have like 29 this year haha

[GSJ61191]

We actually have 19 this year. I wish it was 29, because that would be awesome haha.

[bigg3469]

looooooove those old uniforms!! FIGHT ON!!!!!

[SCSilk]

They were so much easier to perform in. I think I'm the only one who's been in all three uniforms the last 20 years....

[newtojo]

I was there too (quad section leader) and LOVE the old band uniforms. They made us all look much taller (without the silly white fronts they've used since 1987 or so) and the capes with the "Greek Key" design were so much cooler than the current yellow/gold ones.

Who are you, SCSilk?

[guyinweho]

I was there! somewhere....

[baumusc]

This was the first USC game I had ever been to. 10 years before I went there for school.

[SCSilk]

Whoa...found myself...at 2:15.  Longest day of my life.

[tigermbw]

that was back when football halftime shows were actually football halftime shows, not those pseudo rock concerts they have today. i miss the good ole days.

[danzin01]

Wow back in the days when they actually showed the half time shows at the bowl games. I danced in the Sugar Bowl in 1999 and we all worked our asses off that week and they didn't show any of the half time only the stupid sports announcers!

[djt434s]

good high school arrangement here

[cthlcswmr]

FUCK YOU

[djt434s]

come on pal. it's a compliment. their fight songs a pretty good high school arrangement too

[cthlcswmr]

Oh sorry. I thought you were belittling SC's band. My apologies

[bigg3469]

eat my butt out a**hole!!!!!!!

[proffromgview]

As the statue inflates, it looks like Lady Liberty has a hangover!

[mjrchapin]

I agree with 'chilling'--Watching the statue inflate was creepy, like something struggling to life!

[homestr4]

im a USC fan, but the song girls are always resistable

[ceol3531]

i'm pretty sure "chilling climax" is not what that guy meant. maybe thrilling. because chilling is not terribly complimentary.

[djt434s]

i hope thats not really dr bartner up there in the silly outfit waving his arms... young looking doc.

[Surf951]

It's not Dr. Bartner. Pretty sure its the drum major. Dr. Bartner was acutally on the field helping to set up the Statue of Liberty prop for the finale. You can a clear shot of him in front of the box from 2:20 to 2:30 in the clip.

[Surf951]

*can get a clear shot of him*

excuse the typo above

[oldguitardude]

Fight on!

[Surf951]

This halftime show kicked ass! The TMB always has great energy and showmanship. Fight On Trojans!

[homestr4]

why does USC always have the ugliest cheerleaders

[dmarc]

Are you kidding me? We have the hottest cheerleaders in the country!

[homestr4]

theres more botox in the cheerleaders then girls.

YOUR A FAGGOT
