Trojan Marching Band: Behind the Scenes

By: Lilly Diaz ‘20

For those that don’t know me, I am a huuuuuge lover of music. Ever since I was able to walk and talk, I have always had a love for singing, dancing, and playing instruments. I recall one day actually digesting the idea that I was finally a senior trombonist in my high school (this past spring) band. And when I received my letter to USC, I remember feeling stoked about joining the Trojan Marching Band (TMB) as a trombonist. And look where I am now – a freshman at USC and in the TMB.

By: Kelly Kinas ‘16

Drinking. It’s a thing. That may surprise some of you but it is. There are some discreet places around USC’s campus where alcohol is consumed. Craziness. Okay, I feel like this is getting a little too sarcastic so I’m just gonna stop that whole thing now.

A Guide to Life at USC as an LGBT+ Student

By: Adriana Bernal Martinez ‘20

When coming to college, we’re eager to find our people. People we share interests with, and most importantly, people that will accept us.

There’s just so much potential and so many courses to choose from; my roommate and I were literally counting down the days before its release two weeks ago. Even if you’re not quite on our level of excitement, I want to make sure you’re aware of the amazing 2-unit courses available to you, regardless of your major.
