Olympic Spirit
Sometimes the measure of a creative work can reside within its' cultural half-life; thus even if Trevor's stirring score for Remember The Titans never quite received the accolades it deserved (such as an Oscar nomination), it has endured as an expression of inspirational triumph in various contexts. One of the longest-running and beloved uses is for NBC's famous montage of the victors and competitors shown during their coverage of the closing ceremonies of the Olympics. And for 2016, Team USA made a stellar showing in this particular tradition as their achievements were set to the theme "Titans' Spirit" - in my estimation it's wonderful that Trevor's music has become a well-loved and integral part of the fabric of American life. And as an American, he can be very proud indeed.
