<p>As in THE band:</p>
<p>[YouTube</a> - USC Trojan Marching Band at the 2009 Pasadena Rose Parade](<a href=“http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-8yoM3UmwGA]YouTube”>http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-8yoM3UmwGA)</p>
<p>oh sweet. that’s awesome! i love the rose parade!</p>
<p>You love to watch it; marching it is another story. Six miles. Only time I ever began to get tired of Tribute to Troy.</p>
<p>i wanna join the marching band!! what do you play, iamrecognized?</p>
<p>Trumpet. Even if you don’t play an instrument, you can start out in the band. We’ll give you a trumpet of something; it’s easy to play, and even if you can’t, we’re load enough as it is. Be aware though, it’s hard work (lots of running), and your first year will be a little annoying (freshman are obviously the lowest tier). But it’s worth it. And you get into all the home football games for free.</p>
<p>i played the saxophone at high school, but only for 2 years. haven’t touched it in 4 years now. damn.</p>
<p>yeah, i can imagine college marching band being really intense, especially at USC. i play alto sax and did marching band all throughout HS, but my school wasn’t really into competitions or anything and no one took it seriously. kinda sucked, but a real experience seems cool. so it’s open to anyone willing to join?</p>
<p>yeah peppa i know what you mean. i played alto for 10 years and i haven’t touched it in just about a year. i can only imagine what kind of horrible sounds i would produce if i tried again, haha.</p>
<p>Meh. We don’t like the woodwinds; take up trumpet.</p>
<p>Does anyone know when USC certifies your classes? Do I need to submit my Enrollment deposit first?? Thanks</p>
<p>haha yeah marco. i love playing the piano though!!</p>
<p>speaking of pianos, listen to this song:
eric prydz - pjanoo =)</p>
<p>anyway 
hey everyone havent been on here for a while, been busy chillin with friends and partying etc </p>
<p>to everyone who has been accepted, congrats!
to those still waiting, good luck!
and to those who were rejected, keep your head up! life has a weird way of making things work out, trust me, im one of those cases where basically my whole world fell apart and i felt like sh-t but then things took an upward turn and with help from family and friends, everything got great 
and now im going to usc :)</p>
<p>on another note:
hows everyone else doing ? excited about summer? any cool plans ? :)</p>
<p>gooodddd morning beautiful people! haha :)</p>
<p>Goood morning best support group ever!
I had a total of 4 nervous meltdowns during the weekend over a document that financial aid was asking me about, but I almost got it figured out now, so life is good again :)</p>
<p>Good Morning
Today is my day. I am claiming it.</p>
<p>Kinda jazzed. Is it a red/gold folder?</p>
<p>I also got an email from USC about financial aid. I hope filling out all their forms will pay off.</p>
<p>Ok…here is my dilemma (its not really a problem…it’s just a little confusing)</p>
<p>I emailed FIn Aid last wed. telling them that they requested a home value form, but I rent my house so i have no idea what they want from me. </p>
<p>By friday I hadn’t gotten a response so I called and the guy told me to send in my lease agreement, but it’s expired. So I called again, and he told me to send in an “official” letter from the landlord “stating the details” of our agreement.</p>
<p>After I went through hell and finally got the landlord to write a letter, yesterday I received a response to the first e-mail i sent and it said: Thank you for this information. We will contact you if we need anything else…</p>
<p>W T F</p>
<p>I was an 8/15 deadline, no packet yet, but my FA was posted and includes fall 2009 aid and says my enrollment plan starts fall 2009, so I guess I’m fall! See all you guys at orientation!</p>
<p>Good luck today people. Apparently people are still waiting for their decisions!</p>
<p>i just saw my bf’s financial aid… 40k in grants 0.0</p>
