That white sweater and pleated skirt look of the USC song girls is iconic.

Always love marching bands!!! And as a fan of Fleetwood Mac for 50 years.. I just love Tusk done by USC band!!! 💝💝💝💝

Consistently one of the Best Marching Bands in the country! 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

Everything that we see in this video is there because of one reason and that is Dr Bartner. Without any doubt, he's the best band director in the world and has been for 50 years. His lifetime of dedication to his band and all of us that passed through has left an indelible impact on tens of thousands of lives. He's as good as it gets.

The USC marching band's signature song, "Conquest" from the 1947 movie "Captain and Castile" was donated to USC by the composer Alfred Newman.

I LOVE the center girl's walk. That is beauty in motion. They are all blessed!

Could you imagine waiting for a flight, trying to kill time, then out of nowhere this high energy party shows up??? What a treat that must have been!!!!

[megangaukroger]

Rhapsody in Blue....OMG!! One of my favourite pieces of music of all time, played by one of my favourite marching bands of all time!! Way to go TMB!! FIGHT ON!!.

Brings a tear to my eye to see these wonderful young people having such a great time.

I just stumbled on this. Not disappointed at all! My first thought was, "are they in the airport?" Very cool! Small ensemble really kicked it!

[brandonstephens]

I hope people at the airport understand how iconic this moment is for the city of L.A., if your coming to school in L.A. you'd best be going to USC with pride, or UCLA but do it with pride ✌️🌴🎓Fight on!✌️

300+ artists strong with 2 platinum albums, voted by college football fans the best band of all time in 2015, over 300 appearances a year, tireless support of USC athletics, the Grammys, Academy Awards, Great Wall of China, Rome, Venice, London, Paris, Coachella, Olympic Games, Amsterdam, Japan, Super Bowls, Hollywood Bowl, over 24 movies (including as the Alabama band in Forrest Gump!), 34 Rose Bowls, 25 Rose Bowl victories, 11 football national championships, 302 individual NCAA championships and 130 team championships -- all supported heart and soul by TMB, the Trojan Marching Band. Yes there are other terrific bands and fight songs (Hail to the Victors being among the best), but absolutely *nothing* compares to Dr. Bartner's lifetime of passion that is the USC Trojan Marching Band, the Spirit of Troy.

I got to witness this one time in USC Trojan life . Holiday Bowl in San Diego.
At the airport to pick up one of my fellow alums from SF. I arrived at the airport just as the greatest band in the Universe was die barking there plane. Meet her at the gate and we stayed for all 3 performances in the terminal. Awesome show from a awesome band,
USC Trojans class of '79 - Marshall School of Business - MBA. Fight on for ole SC ✌🏽️

LAX The only airport that has a marching band to greet you LA and to see you off on your journey!

Best marching band in the world. One of the few who perform Original material and not generic recycled shared songs.

My dad was born in the 40’s in south jersey. Saw USC football on Tv in the 60’s for the first time and just watching the band take the field he said it was like watching a conquering army storm the battlefield. Then the football team took the field lol

Fight on ✌🏻

Hey My dad was a huge fan of USC Football and definitely the band. Back in the day he would make a point to drop a 12 pack of his favorite beer in the path of the band as they walked from Tommy Trojan to the coli (although I understand the band isn't permitted nowadays). He passed away a week ago, but he would have loved this! FIGHT ON!!

[kspencer]

Not a huge USC fan but this band is absolutely fantabulous (Fantastic and Fabulous all wrapped up into one)... and have fun doing it!

[markbanner]

UK here. God Bless America!! This kind of thing alone is what makes America great. Whoever started the tradition of the band and of course the delightful Cheerleaders combo is a genius. I don't usually get jealous of other Countries, but I am jealous that the USA has cheerleaders everywhere. :D

[rayh]

I love when they start Tusk, the director just steps aside!

[elainelott]

This was absolutely amazing !!! I loved all the songs the band played !!! They are so awesome !!! I will be watching this over and over !!
