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.

I’ve had a bit of interest in fight songs. My favorite is that the University of Maine fight song, the stein song, developed when sale of alcohol was prohibited in 1905, was the only one to reach the top of the charts. It was sung by Rudy Vallee in 1930. The song is also unusually popular in South Korea to this day. No one knows why.
Not sure it would fly today; however, with all the toasting to girls and careless days.
