Fleetwood Mac invited the USC Trojan Marching Band to perform "Tusk" on its 12th album in 1979, which became the Trojans' first platinum album. They earned a second when they appeared on the reunion album "The Dance" in 1997. No other collegiate band has accomplished such a feat.
If I am not mistaken, I think the USC band at the time was very very small - like less than 125 members or so. For college football, that's tiny.

The Spirit of Troy (USC's Marching Band) has 350 members. Back in the '70's, it had around 250-275.
USC's band has appeared in over 25 movies, 2 Academy Awards shows, several Grammy Awards shows (including winning awards) and numerous TV shows. It has also traveled all over the world for concert performances.
In 2014, USAToday named The Spirit of Troy the best collegiate marching band in the nation.
