Arthur C. Bartner, the recently retired director of the Trojan Marching Band, will be honored Sunday with a virtual celebration headlined by the USC Concert Band and a star-studded cast of guest stars. Originally scheduled exactly a year earlier, the online presentation will allow Trojan fans to honor the man who led the marching band program for 51 years before retiring in December.
The “Golden Legacy” celebration was canceled last May due to the pandemic. Though this year’s festivities will be virtual, guests can enjoy a rich online experience through the 6Connex virtual event platform. Rare videos of the band, virtual tours of memorabilia in band spaces and even a band-themed video game are some of the experiences available only to attendees.
