Shortly after the University of Southern California was founded in 1880, a group of musicians first came together to form what would become the Trojan Marching Band. Now the largest spirit organization on campus, the band has developed into one of the most exciting and innovative collegiate marching bands in the country. Featuring over 300 passionate students from nearly every major at USC, the TMB is a prominent and visible representative of the university with over 300 engagements each year. It has truly earned its nickname, “The Spirit of Troy”, for its commitment to ‘SC and its tireless support of Trojan athletics.
