Hello!

My name is Giancarlo Ceja, a senior and 4th-year band member majoring in Environmental Studies and International Relations, with a minor in Web Technologies and Applications. My passion and work at USC revolve around environmental policy, particularly as it involves themes of environmental justice. This is with a career goal of being an environmental policymaker at the international level!

I chose to come to USC for academics and its proximity from home, but since I was a drum major and section leader in high school, I was eager to join a college marching band. Beginning band camp, and seeing the energy, excitement, and opportunity within the band, I knew that this is something that I would want to be a part of! My favorite band memories have been the 2021 trip to Chicago, and performing at the Kid’s Choice Awards!
