STRAIGHT-UP STIRRING! I remember it from the movie "Captain form Castile" as a kid and also from USC football games. But nothing prepared me for the first time I heard it at the pregame on campus before my first football game as a student. Every home game, The Spirit of Troy marches to the fronts of Bovard and the Doheny Library and plays Fanfare/Conquest/Fight On after which everyone follows them into the Coliseum for the start of the game. It was captivating, stirring and mindblowing on every level then and still is when I return 'HOME' to USC for a game! FIGHT ON FOREVER!!
I remember the first time I heard it played at the Rose Bowl game and it was like "wow". I maybe from the hills of Tennessee but I appreciate good music. It's the top tune in Div. I schools. GBO
Stirring! Rousing! Call to victory! Who played, when and where, this glorious piece. Certainly not current USC musicians -- not young enough! Alumni? Thanks.
At first I was laughing at the Reggie bush painting, because he put usc on probation. Then a couple of seconds later I saw the oj Simpson painting, and completely forgot about Reggie Bush!
Thank you Carlos, I am a USC graduate (1985), but when I was much younger I lived in the Seattle, WA area. When not rooting for USC, I root for the Huskies! ... Jerry
I wonder how many times we'll hear conquest when USC leaves the friendly confines of the colloseum and Rose Bowl for a freezing visit to State College, Ann Arbor or even Iowa in November. We won't appease them like ND does by playing in warmer weather....Hey and the irony is it will be glorious to send USC back home with another B1G loss... WELCOME TO THE B1G!!!!!! PS And as always. 'Fight on'!
The Captain from Castile! That iconic image at the finale of Cesar Romero as Hernan Cortes. Can be found on RUclips.

2nd gen SC married to a 3rd gen SC with a 4th gen SC daughter - grew up with this as the theme song of my life - Fight On!, Never Give Up!
The Ultimate Hollywood script...Fight On!
No song in college football 🏈 is more glorious than USC’s conquest.
Alfrred Newman composed this song in the movie "Captain of Castile" about Cortez's conquest of Mexico.
Was his middle initial "E" by any chance?
@@johnkrebs3198 That is not clear, but the guy on the cover of Mad Magazine has his last name spelled as Neuman.
USC Symphony, USC Marching Band, Earth Wind & Fire and Queen. My all time favorites!
This is easily the greatest marching and college fight song ever.!!!!
The greatest march ever. And I'm not even a USC fan.
You are so correct!
One of the greatest songs along with tribute to Troy and the noble men of Kyle in college football !!!!
Such an well made video, I really like that you showed each instrument section as they played., and timed the hits in the introduction. Well done!
That's not the USC Symphony

Thank you, Alfred Newman!

Counting the days when USC goes into Eugene, Oregon and face the Ducks this 2023 football season!
You have a great university symphony
Every Trojan song reminds you they’re from LA. They all sound lifted from movie sound tracks.
Great march music!
4:34 White women and then OJ. Priceless.
Super score!
just gives u chills #trojans
GO HUSKIES but even we know USC is the standard of the PAC-12

@@jerrytanaka6746 I root for USC as well but not when they play us, everyone wants to be USC.
O J Simpson was/is GUILTY
nothing more glorious that to hear Conquest ringing in the dusk at the Arroyo Seco after SC sends another Big 10 team home in a heart-breaking defeat!
