--------------------------------------------
The Spirit of Troy, also known as the University of Southern California Trojan Marching Band (TMB), self-described as "The Greatest Marching Band in the History of the Universe," is the marching band of the University of Southern California, representing USC at various collegiate sports, broadcast, popular music recording, and national public appearance functions. A contingent of the band has performed at every USC football game, home and away, since 1987. This streak of 259 consecutive games (through 2007 season) is unrivaled by any other college or university band.[citation needed] Additionally, the Spirit of Troy has traveled every other year since 1973 to South Bend, Indiana to support the team in its annual rivalry against Notre Dame. The band gives a concert after every football game. It also makes an international trip at least every other year. In addition, the Spirit of Troy has performed with numerous celebrities including John Williams, Michael Jackson, Diana Ross, Doc Severinsen, George Clinton, Fleetwood Mac, The Three Tenors and The Offspring. The TMB prides itself in being the entertainment industry preference whenever a script or producer requires a college marching band to appear in film, recording, or television broacast.
The Trojan Shrine, the symbol of USC and popularly known as "Tommy Trojan", was originally supposed to be named "The Spirit of Troy".
The band has performed for seven U.S. presidents, played at the Summer Olympics and on the Academy Awards and Grammy Awards telecasts.
