Why was your marching band on the Grammy's?

And where were you?

I didn't watch the Emmy's. But the USC band is the only marching band with a platinum record, with Fleetwood Mac. Tusk. Maybe that's why they were there.

They were used as special added players backing up Radiohead's live performance. Probably just a subset of the full USC band.

You're probably right. Full band is 300+. The USC band is popular because the band director worked at Disneyland ad the 1984 Olympics.

And they're local to the Grammys.

Yup, the campus is less than two miles away.
