Trojan War Flag
“A huge cardinal flag with a Trojan head in profile in the center is the Trojan war flag. Entrusted to the care of the Knights and Squires, the flag is hung from the tower of the Administration building before Stanford, California, UCLA, Washington and intersectional games, when they are played in the Coliseum. In victory the flag hangs from the tower through Monday; otherwise it is taken down Saturday.”
– Student Handbook 1940-41

Trojan Marching Band

Since its beginning in 1880, the “Spirit of Troy” – USC’s Trojan Marching Band – has grown to be the largest most visible spirit group on campus. The 280 members represent more than 60 fields of study at the university. The band provides year-round opportunities for its members to develop their musical skills through a variety of performance experiences and is an ideal vehicle for those students who seek camaraderie in a spirit organization.
The primary mission of the Trojan Band is to support USC men’s and women’s athletics. The band performs at every home football game with notable biennial full-band appearances at Notre Dame and annual trips to
Stanford or Cal. A smaller contingent travels to all other away games as well.
In addition, the band performs at all home games of other varsity sporting events. USC’s fight song, Alma Mater and victory march, “Conquest!,” are performed at all events.
During the fall semester, the band practices on Tuesdays, Thursdays and Fridays from 3:45 p.m. to 5:45 p.m., and on Saturday mornings, at Cromwell Field. During the spring semester, contingents of the Trojan Marching Band form the USC Basketball Band, the University Concert Band and the USC Brass Band, all of which are open to all students with musical ability.
The band has earned the nickname “Hollywood’s Band” for its numerous performances on the small and silver screens. The Trojan Marching Band appeared in Forrest Gump and The Naked Gun and has performed at the Academy Awards and the 2004 Grammy Awards. The band has also played at two Summer Olympics, for seven U.S. presidents, at four Super Bowls and on five continents. It has also earned two platinum albums for its work with the rock group Fleetwood Mac.
Fight Song
The music for USC’s fight song, “Fight On,” was composed in 1922 by USC dental student Milo Sweet as an entry in a Trojan spirit contest. In addition to inspiring generations of Trojan fans and football players, the song has been used in a score of recordings and more than a dozen movies.
A recording of “Fight On” is available online at www.usc.edu/band.
Fight On
Fight on for ol’ SC
Our men (teams) fight on to victory
Our Alma Mater dear,
looks up to you
Fight on and win
For ol’ SC
Fight on to victory
Fight on!
Alma Mater
All hail to Alma Mater,
To thy glory we sing;
All hail to Southern California,
Loud let thy praises ring;
Where Western sky meets Western sea
Our college stands in majesty.
Sing our love to Alma Mater,
Hail, all hail to thee.
