USC Cheerleaders - USC Song Leaders

USC Cheerleaders

In 1967, seven young women were selected to make a new addition to the USC spirit scene. The next year, these girls walked out onto the field of the Los Angeles Coliseum to cheer on the Trojan Football team to victory. This was the beginning of a prestigious tradition at the University of Southern California – the USC Song Leaders make their debut. The Song Leaders play an important role in the spirit and pride of USC. These USC cheerleaders perform at numerous events, including rallies, alumni functions, weddings, and sporting events such as basketball, football and volleyball. Resplendent in their white uniforms, cardinal and gold pom-poms at their sides, the Song Leaders have an unmistakable presence. Recently, they were recognized for their accomplishments by being voted Best Cheerleaders in America by Sports Illustrated Magazine and the 2002 squad's captains were proud recepients of the All-American Cheerleader award.
