'''Arthur C. "Art" Bartner''' is an [[American]] musician best known as the director of the [[Spirit of Troy]] at the [[University of Southern California]], a position he has held since 1970. During this time he became popularly synonymous with [[USC Trojans football]] and was credited for establishing the Spirit of Troy as "one of the most-famous bands in America."<ref>{{cite news|last1=Ramirez|first1=Steve|title=Mr. USC, band director Art Bartner to speak at Pasadena Quarterbacks Club luncheon|url=http://www.sgvtribune.com/sports/20140924/mr-usc-band-director-art-bartner-to-speak-at-pasadena-quarterbacks-club-luncheon|accessdate=12 October 2015|work=[[San Gabriel Valley Tribune]]|date=24 September 2014}}</ref> In addition to his long-time work directing the USC marching band, Bartner also served as director of bands at Davison High School in Davison, Michigan, and as director of the band of the 1984 Olympic games. |

Bartner was born and raised in [[Maplewood, New Jersey]]. He claims his interest in music began when his older brother started taking trumpet lessons, a path Bartner followed, and crystalized when he saw the [[United States Marine Band]], which had come to perform at his [[junior high school]].<ref name="sbo">{{cite news|title=Forging Tradition: USC's Dr. Arthur Bartner|url=http://sbomagazine.com/1269-archives/2700-39forging-tradition-usc-s-dr-arthur-bartner.html|accessdate=12 October 2015|work=School Band and Orchestra Magazine|date=12 October 2015}}</ref> In high school, Bartner earned all-state honors in both trumpet and [[basketball]], and went on to attend the [[University of Michigan]].<ref name="horse"/> After a failed try-out for the [[basketball]] team, he joined the [[University of Michigan Marching Band]], where he played [[trumpet]] from 1958 to 1962.<ref name="sbo"/><ref name="um"/> Following graduation in 1962, Bartner went on to earn a [[Master of Music]] degree in 1963 and a [[Doctor of Education]] in 1971, both also at Michigan.<ref>{{cite news|last1=Haithman|first1=Diane|title=The man behind the band at USC|url=http://articles.latimes.com/2011/sep/04/entertainment/la-ca-arthur-c-bartner-20110904|accessdate=12 October 2015|work=[[Los Angeles Times]]|date=4 September 2011}}</ref><ref name="um">{{cite news|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=PC3iAAAAMAAJ&pg=PA74-IA37&lpg=PA74-IA37&dq#v=onepage&q&f=false|accessdate=12 October 2015|work=The Michigan Alumnus|title=Art Bartner '62|date=2000}}</ref> Bartner has credited longtime Michigan band director [[William D.

According to Bartner, during his five years at Davison, he doubled the size of the band from 60 to 120 students. During this time he also performed with the Flint Symphony Orchestra in [[Flint, Michigan]]. <ref name="sbo"/> |

===USC=== |
|||
Bartner was hired as director of the USC marching band in 1970. When he took over the group, it had 80 members and was derisively known as "the library band." By the late 1970s Bartner had become disappointed in the direction of the group which had become increasingly unruly and insubordinate. Talked out of resigning by university administrators, Bartner adopted a new disciplinarian approach to running the band, banning profanity, [[hazing]], and alcohol, and introducing an intensity in rehearsal he borrowed from observing Trojan football practices.<ref name="horse"/> |

In 1979 the Spirit of Troy recorded ''[[Tusk (song)|Tusk]]'' with [[Fleetwood Mac]], |

Adopting a disciplinarian approach to running the group, Bartner quickly grew its size and energy. In 1973 [[Diana Ross]] became the first in a long line of celebrity performers to appear on-field with the USC band |
