<p>I'm a bit curious about the USC Song Girls. I was a cheerleader in high school, but really have no idea if the Girls are cheerleaders... or not? Does anyone know what they do, how often they perform, what you have to do to be on the squad, what the overall view of the squad is, etc?</p>
<p>If you could let me know, I'd much appreciate it!</p>
<p>choc,</p>
<p>The song girls usually have had extensive dance training. They practice each week. Selection is very competitive. Sometimes they appear at SC functions and also do charity work such as visiting hospitals. This is in addition to the football games and pre-game rallies.</p>
<p>Here is a link with photographs about the Song Girls.</p>

<p>Song Girls!! SC CHICKS!</p>
<p>Song Girls don’t stunt like a cheerleader. They do cheers and dance. They perform most anyplace the Trojan Marching Band does, as well as other gigs. They do tryouts in Fall, and the new squad debuts during Basketball season.</p>
<p>If you are more interested in cheering, USC does have a club Cheer team that does do stunts.</p>
<p>does anyone know when auditions for the song girls are? I would love to audition, however, I live in florida…soo…</p>
<p>I’ve been a dancer/cheerleader all through high school, I would love to continue it, especially on a squad that’s not all about stunting. I love the dance and cheer aspect most, personally.</p>
<p>Soexcited,
On the website is the e-mail address of the coach. Perhaps you could send her a message with your questions.</p>
<p>I would love to be a USC song girl if I go to USC, my only question is if it is super super time consuming and segregating? I feel like it would take alot of opportunities away 
but I LOVE dancing and cheering, and always wanted to be a song girl</p>
<p>I’m friends with several Song Girls, and they all tell me that it is very time-consuming. Not only are you at football games all day, but you have many hours of practice throughout the week, and make quite a few public appearances representing the school. In addition to all the home football games, about 5 or so Song Girls go to each away game, and then there’s basketball games, and then there’s the multitude of other things that they do. It’s a very prestigious position, but very time-consuming as well.</p>
<p>Auditions are at the end of first semester, and they are quite competitive.</p>
<p>Thanks for all the info. I’m not much of a stunter anyway, so being on the club squad would be a little out-of-reach for me. I may try out for the Song Girls, I’ve been dancing my whole life and was the captain of my schools team. But, I’m with tornbtwoschools… I don’t want it to run my life. Bugh, decisions decisions.</p>
<p>There is another spirit group…USC Dance Team. The time commit is not as great. There is information about this group and the tryout day on the USC Facebook Class of 2014. Perhaps this might be an alternative for you.</p>
<p>I think Georgia Girl means the Trojan Dance Force, they perform at the basketball games but I’m not sure what else they do.</p>
<p>And as far as student run groups, there’s the USC Chamber Ballet Company and the USC Repertory Dance Company, both of which put on excellent shows.</p>
<p>there’s also the new company Xpressions Dance Company, which is student run and excellent!</p>
<p>Wings,
It is Trojan Dance Force. Thanks for the correct name.</p>
<p>I’ll start off with the fact that I know nothing specifically about cheerleading, dance etc. but I do know about recruitment for sports. So, applying that knowledge I would go to the coach(es) site at USC emai and then make a telephone calll. I would introduce myself (you, not your mom). In the email list your credentials (All State, National titles) and then, if there is any interest, send a video of your skillset.</p>
<p>I was just wondering if anyone could give me a general perception of the Song Girls? And if anyone is/was a Song Girl or knows anyone who is/was a Song Girl… Was it difficult to juggle academics, social life and being a Song Girl? Thanks!</p>
<p>heybeautiful - I think it really depends on what kind of person you are. I’m friends with a song girl and she doesnt have trouble juggling song girls, academic and social life. As previous people said, being a song girl is very time committing, especially during football season. But for my friend, at least, she’s graduating early with good grades and got into Law school, and is very social.</p>
<p>The Trojan Dance Force auditions are this week starting with an info meeting on April 18. You can find out more from their facebook page. They dance at home basketball games, university functions, and compete at national college competitions. The members seem to have a balanced life of dance, academics, and social activities like sororities, student government, and thematic option. Some have gone on to grad school; some go on to dance for the NBA and NFL.</p>
