Jesse Long
Jesse is a rising senior at USC and will be returning as a 4th-year member in the band. He is currently completing a bachelor’s degree in Psychology with minors in German and Legal Studies, but he plans to attend law school after graduating. He joined the TMB in 2020 during the COVID-19 pandemic, but he still managed to forge deep connections with his section and the rest of the band despite everything being conducted over Zoom. Now, he lives in LA full-time with some of his closest friends from college. His favorite band memories are the trips for away games because they’re always a great chance to bond with the section and have some fun with his friends while entertaining people and supporting the team. He says the best part of being in the band is that he gets to share these fun experiences and memories with his friends and his section, who have become like a second family to him.
