CONQUEST!



CONQUEST! The Ultimate Trojan Experience... The 6th Annual bonfire/rally at USC took place this weekend which is a prelude to the crosstown rivalry game between the USC Trojans and UCLA Bruins football teams. This year's installment takes place at the Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum home to the USC Trojans. Both teams will battle for the Victory Bell and bragging rights in the city of Los Angeles November 28th 2009 at 7pm.

The bonfire/rally featured several dance performances from the USC Trojan Dance Force and the  USC Song Girls as well as introductions to several of the seniors on the various athletic teams on campus this year. The event was hosted this year by Jamie Kennedy, who I believe really hurt the event. How bad of an MC are you when you are yelling into the microphone while the Greatest Marching Band in the Universe plays the fight song? Apparently he does, and his comedic relief was nothing short of failure.

Other than that, the event really went off well with the USC Trojan Marching Band performing as Joe Bruin burned in the distance, which was followed by a nice fireworks show. Once the band left, the finale was a concert from the band Ok Go. It was a nice event overall with a carnival type of atmosphere with music, food, and a huge ferris wheel. It was a good time... now let's go beat ucla!

Here are some photos from the event...
