In what’s become a great Rose Bowl tradition, a group of seniors led the Trojan Marching Band in several rounds of “Conquest” before walking off the field for the final time.

Desmond Reed (22) went first and was literally dancing on top of a ladder while holding the drum major’s sword. It was the perfect follow-up to his spectacular end zone flip, but hopefully he didn’t kick it up a notch by running with scissors in the locker room.

More shots of the Trojans’ Conquest poses are after the jump.

We’ll have a larger photo gallery with more sights from the Rose Bowl later tonight.
