To honor Dr. Bartner for his decades of service and excellence, a year of celebration will commence with the 2009 football season. Two special projects have been initiated to honor his ongoing legacy. The first is a gala dinner and show at USC’s Galen Center on May 1, 2010, which will feature guest stars that have enriched the program during Dr. Bartner’s tenure. Accompanying the event will be a commemorative book chronicling the events, people, and milestones of an unprecedented career in Music Education. Alumni members of the band and interested members are welcome to fill out a reply form to attend the Gala! Read More about Dr. Bartner's 40th Anniversay Gala!

Game day wouldn't be complete without a tailgate party!  The USC Trojan Marching Band is about to kick-off their fourth annual "Spirit of Troy" tailgate party on September 5th.  The band's tailgate parties start five hours before the game and wrap up two hours before so you can follow the band to Heritage Hall for their pre-game parade and rallies on the way to the Coliseum. All proceeds from this event go into the band's general fund to cover things such as uniforms and travel.  With the band larger than ever, we need your support. Read more!
