Aggie Band Steps Off for the Texas A&M vs tu football game 2009

[@orthbird]

Amazing band. I was in the Penn State Blue Band, and I remember when A&M visited us for a game. Thankfully, they brought their band and I've been a fan ever since.

[@mikejetton]

By the way, my son was in the Fightin' Texas Aggie band and for me it was a fantastic experience and I'm sure he would say the same. Currently he is a commissioned officer in the US Navy.

Thanks for sharing 😀

[@bksfv6812]

One of my favorite youtube vids of all time. Step off is amazing.

[@sarapiburn2523]

Best band around and that goes for University too!💜💜💜

[@mikejetton]

The Fightin' Texas Aggie Marching Band. Best damn Marching Band on the Planet! GO AGGIES!!!! BTHO of LSU 10/20/2012!

[@rapscallion3506]

Love to see the women BQs... it's a tough life but they make me proud!!!!... whoop!!!

[@mikejetton]

I love my AGGIES!!!! Thanks for the comments...!

[@tombob671]

Mike Jetton, I did not go there, but it is one heck of a school.

[@NavyCWO]

My son-in-law is an Aggie and retired Army colonel!

[@dachtorstrange4863]

They are cadets in the United States Army Reserve Officer Training Corps (ROTC). They receive commissions as 2nd Lieutenants upon graduation from university.

[@JJR93]

Last I checked, ROTC participation is only mandatory for freshman & sophomores. It's possible to remain in the Corps or Band without going contract ROTC, and many do. TAMU has Army ROTC, Air Force ROTC, and NROTC (Navy & Marines). The Fightin' Texas Aggie Band and Texas A&M Corps of Cadets have their own traditions and customs that exist alongside the ROTC contract & scholarship programs.

[@sknmrowley]

The corps is an awesome aspect of the greatest Texas university. I would have that model duplicated in the PNW if I could.

[@sarapiburn2523]

I agree about band and great University!💜💜💜

[@rudyzamora1]

Always good to see the General Moore cord in the Aggie Band!♡

[@davidadcock8717]

Lifelong Longhorn here! Ags have a great band, but their FB team lost the 2009 game 49-39.

[@mikejetton]

Some gotta win, some gotta lose!

[@brandonlesgo9563]

Yup and the series between the two isn't even close. The aggies put on a good opera wirh the band but they don't have the men on the field to back it up

[@1955thekeeper]

Hey fish Jones, what outfit are you in? "The Fightin' Texas Aggie Band, the BEST damn outfit on the campus!" Whoop! BQ '77

[@aaron14740]

They could play a show with Top Secret Drum Corps, now that would be something

[@intiminatorfan3]

:28 is the best part

[@mikejetton]

I watched Penn State at the 2007 Alamo bowl. Sadly A&M lost. I could tell Penn State had class!

[@RG4242421]

Mike Jetton ...With Sandusky on the sidelines Hugh?

[@tra1031]

@pvp64 they are pre - Military ... studying to be officers more often than not ... if yer not an Aggie ... well ... usually lost on those who are not ...

[@sandrasmith2581]

the uniforms! remind me of another country, another time

[@divinedvon]

Is this the marching band or the ROTC band

[@allpeeps4me]

@pvp64 ... They are in the corps of cadets.. That's the uniform.. The only college that sends more cadets into the military as high ranking officers is the united states military academy at west point..

[@mikejetton]

No cadet is required to pursue a military commission. Thank GOD that many do.

[@edwarddavison3304]

Patton would been proud of them well turned out and he was Right back then to take Russia out a man of great vision and a true General worthy of Cesar

[@semperfine4442]

Dat Nguyen ate the last Reville!

[@sethsidd717]

lol, I'm gonna laugh at this post if the Aggies and Longhorns meet in the Cotton Bowl at the end of the 2012 season. Aggies will destroy the Longhorns and I'll be rooting for my new SEC brothers. Thanks for joining us Aggies and helping the SEC continue to be the power house conferece that it is. Eternal scoreboard Pat? lol so funny. As if those two teams would never meet again? For your sake Pat, pray that the Longhorns get invited to the Chick Fil A bowl lol

[@BigTrainBuff]

They never lost a halftime.

[@Sierra688]

Sips dodged a major bullet. Instead the Aggies will beat the hell outta OU in the Cotton Bowl. The student will become the master, as Sumlin will stuff every last X and O of that spread offense down Stoops' throat and make him loathe the day he met Mike Leach.

[@N17_Daveed]

Saw varsity’s horns off!!!

[@semperfine4442]

Who? you and Johnny football? At the end of the day, it will always be "Poor Aggies".

[@jonrobinson1958]

WHOOP

[@roseanecorreia8811]

ROSEANE

[@alebon1532]

W USA.......ITALIA AMA USA!

[@user-td6is4il7e]

온세상여평화함게...

[@MakhachSultanov]

Look like italian blackshirts

[@JJR93]

The Uniforms are based on United States Army Uniforms from World War 2, though the Senior year uniforms with the tall boots are more World War 1 era.

[@marcospalma8303]

Comparado con la Legión de Spain,nothing

[@scottvernon9413]

Cleary "Eisenhower".... Cleary Republican.. and Cleary Masculine!!!!! God Bless Texas......

[@user-bx7nw1ve6y]

What's with the idiots that just have to cross the road right away?

[@SS-wt3xe]

believe the aggies lost that game to TEXAS LONGHORNS....

[@semperfine4442]

THE University of Texas!!!

[@pvp64]

Not to get in a pissing contest with you, but 5 minutes of research shows that slightly less than half ever go on to actually join the military. That being said I withdraw my earlier comment because those students that do, certainly deserve respect.

[@mikejetton]

pvp64 - your comments are disrespectful. Hopefully you are not on the Obama team leading our country. Don't make me block you.

[@bobbyramsey6874]

If TAMU wanted to be designated as the university that represents Texas and they formed first why not just call your self The University of Texas lol. All these misplaced abbreviations are stupid. What if Texas fans started calling TAMU Something like AMUT or MATU or UMTA or ATUM? Would sound pretty fucking stupid such as calling UT ?..TU. Oh and just curious how did this game work out for the Aggies?
