August 2018 (4) Candygrams

Friday, August 31, 2018---First 2018 Football "Jock" Rally

Trojan Candy arrived early at the Heritage Hall patio for the first "Jock" Rally on the afternoon before our football game versus UNLV. I was able to get my favorite picture/video taking spot on the corner atop the brick wall. I need some elevation, because I am only 4'11" tall.

At 5:00 p.m. the Spirit of Troy marched to the cadence of the drums into the patio from their own practice in the Loker track stadium.

Then the football team walked in to the patio as the Band played.

Dr. Bartner greeted the team.

Then Defensive Graduate Assistant Coach Michael Hutchings stepped up onto the ladder to speak.

The entire team was hyped up by "Tusk."

The "Honored" team speaker was next. Senior captain Cameron Smith (12/13/17) rallied the team with his speech.

The USC Song Girls and the Yell Leaders danced in the middle of the team next as the Spirit of Troy played music.

Cameron Smith held up the Sword as the Spirit of Troy played "Conquest" after which the team left the pep rally.

After the band left, Trojan Candy took a picture of our 2018 Song Girls.

My last rally picture was of the 2018 Yell Leaders.

FIGHT ON, 2018 USC Football Team!

Saturday, August 25, 2018---Happy 50th Anniversary, Patti and Dudley!

My family gave a party on board the Queen Mary to celebrate the Golden Anniversary of my sister Patti and her husband Dudley Poon.

We surprised them by inviting the USC Spirit of Troy to perform and wish Patti and Dudley Poon a happy 50th Anniversary.
