SAN FRANCISCO -- The Emerald Bowl has meant a whirlwind trip for the Trojan Marching Band, USC Song Girls and USC Spirit Leaders.
A faction of the university's spirit groups departed campus at 9 p.m. on Friday for an overnight bus ride to the Bay Area, while a large majority of the band members, Song Girls and Spirit Leaders departed LAX on an early morning charter flight today. They performed at the Emerald Bowl pep rally this morning and then have a rehearsal at City College of San Francisco before heading to AT&T Park for the game, where they'll perform a pre-game and halftime show.
Then immediately after the Emerald Bowl, the spirit groups will re-board their charter plane, return to LAX and bus back to campus -- about 18 hours after departing USC.
