It’s been less than a month since our London tour, but I already want to go back. Had some of the best times with some of the best people (ever) in some of the best places.
"The Trojan band is famously intimidating" :)
Best quote from the above article: “The Trojan band is famously intimidating: The drum major, dressed as a Trojan warrior, starts the pregame ritual by stabbing the field with a real sword; the band has performed at the Academy Awards — three times — and riffed on the title track of Fleetwood Mac’s “Tusk” album. At football games, the USC band plays nonstop.”
True, too.
Totally my face and reaction when I was watching an episode of How I Met Your Mother in which I recognized a CLARINET (yeah, usually brass players are the most visible but a CLARINET got the solo this time, woo!) player whom I thought I knew from concert band. After seeing a closeup of his face, it confirmed my recognition…he was a former clarinet section leader of the USC Trojan Marching Band, TGMBITHOTU!! But because I never trust myself to be right, I checked up on the USC TMB filmography, and it really was the former section leader with former members of the band. And then: “HEY, I’M IN THAT BAND NOW AND WE DO KOOL STUFF ALL THE TIME!!” And cue gif.
Now, going to rewatch that part. I guess the super-enthusiastic response and scattered “Fight On” signs should have tipped me off. Oh well, still figuring some stuff out.
At 0:02, I’m the girl on the left with the pigtails.
LIFE GOAL ACCOMPLISHED.
^and I’m next to the girl with the pigtails! woo.
