summer (this was 30 years ago). They rented out some of the vacant dorms and would stay for weeks.

I am not at all exaggerating when I say they were some of the most thoroughly obnoxious human beings ever. Arrogant, entitled, destructive, bratty, etc. Their contract was not renewed because they caused so many problems and so much destruction.

The worst part was waking up at 8:00 a.m. to hear "The March of Troy" played over and over. Of course we were kicking their ass each year at the time, so that helped.

Favorite story about the SoCal band. We were at the ND-SoCal

game about 1995 I think and a very funny guy wearing a Cal Berkeley sweatshirt was sitting behind us. My wife and I were complaining about the SC band playing the same 2 songs over and over. He said “What’s really discouraging is that it’ll never get any better, because if they had brains enough to learn 3 songs they would have gotten into Cal or UCLA, so you’re stuck with this for all time “.
