As a former Aggie Bandsman MANY years ago (Class of 1977) I can confirm for you that there is a great deal of work and sweat in putting together a drill like that (and, yes, on a crossthrough drill like this there are busted horns and busted lips - but it's worth it). Every member of the Aggie Band is a member of the Texas A&M Corps of Cadets and takes at least four semesters of ROTC Military Science classes. Many Aggie Band members go on to take commissions as officers in every branch of the armed forces.

[@Oldag75]

Affirmative!

[@dmpyron2]

Class of 78. You BQs always amazed me with your skill and dedication.

[@mikeculpepper7305]

@@dmpyron2 Agree! simply put RED AZZ GOOD BULL. GIG 'EM Class of '83

[@TheDisneyNation]

Gig 'em!

[@texadan314]

Listen to the crowd cheering as much for them as for the team

[@mattyisme123]

From A&M info site…. Requirements for being in the Aggie Band (hence the uniforms of “military style” you mentioned). “Membership in the Aggie Band requires full participation in all required activities of the Corps of Cadets in addition to those required by the Aggie Band.”

[@shannonsolomon3015]

As wonderful as some of the other bands are, nobody is on the level of A&M.❤❤

[@spotted_chicken_nugget3955]

As someone who was in the Aggie band, the 4 way cross is quite literally organized chaos. There is specific ways you have to put your feet and move your body to keep from hitting other people. Practicing that moves does involve a lot of people falling down and getting popped. By by day 3 of practice everyone has it pretty much down. Really special being a part of that and seeing it all come together into a perfect show

[@user-mt8gf1vr3t]

Our student enrollment for 23 is 56,800. The band has approximately 450 to 500 members

[@ginnyhager4274]

Oh and I forgot to mention, that they never repeat the same halftime performance twice. Glad you enjoyed it. It is even better in person.

[@mszuzubookitty4646]

My family had tickets on the 50 yard line since I was an infant. Grew up going to games and halftime was always my favorite. Never saw a bad show, ever.

[@shannonsolomon3015]

These ladies and gentlemen, practice about 35 to 40 hours a week. This is definitely a full-time job. The precision, dedication, time, effort and energy that goes into our viewing pleasure is remarkable. Shout out to every single one of those band members. NAILED IT

[@TheAggieBQ]

As a former Aggie Band Member it's lots of dedication. 10 to 12 hours a week and the band does a NEW drill and NEW music each week. We are the largest Sr. Military college in the nation and and largest Military band in the nation.

[@GeometricMason]

I thought it was the largest military marching band in the WORLD.

[@brentarnold523]

I attended Texas A&M and was actually in the band. Had great times and got to experience great things.

[@williamclark6555]

It's the largest military marching band in the United States. Gig'em Aggies

[@stischer47]

In the world

[@marktegrotenhuis]

They make "basic" marching techniques look awesome by their size and tight formations! ❤️

[@outhousemouse2010]

Enjoyed listening to your review of the Fightin' Texas Aggie Band. Your reactions of saying, "It's borderline dangerous!" and "If you knock somebody in the teeth....the shows over" are fantastic. 👍

[@suzanneyoung8011]

The amazing thing about the Four-Way Cross is that the computer models say it can't be done because it requires two people to be in the same spot at the same time, but they get it done!

[@stischer47]

Computer? The Aggies don't need no stinkin' computer to do the impossible.

[@kentfuselier6921]

How did you know that? Its the only formation we cant get numbers from the vax.

[@ArleneAdkinsZell]

Wow, such precision, just imagine how much went into coordinating the choreography and the music. Thank you for another wonderful video!

[@madewithloveandbutter5598]

Nothing like Texas Aggies!

[@Stepperg1]

Thank you. I haven't felt loved since my husband died. When I saw the crawl on your channel, it brought the tears. I feel like maybe somebody somewhere may really love me someday. ❤

[@cathyorlowski1951]

GIG UM AGGIES 👍

[@pambarab5506]

My brother was Aggie class of 82. My poor parents had 3 kids in 3 different colleges at the same time. They would visit one of us every week in a rotation, then have one week when they rested from all the travels. One at Texas A&M, one at SMU, and one at SFA.

[@ccsportsfan7886]

excellent reaction

[@carltwelve2170]

‘92. They practice 2 hrs a day for seven days. All members of the Aggie band are members of the Coro of cadets. Whoop!

[@cathyorlowski1951]

Gig um Aggies...

[@The_WatchList]

Gig 'em class of 20

[@sandralorenz1796]

This is military precision.

[@texadan314]

Proud alum. Class of '82

[@rickiholliman-ryan2256]

They ARE real military uniforms, not band costumes.

[@terryrodriguez6209]

The technical difficulty is amazing but these young people have to have a lot of stamina. Think about marching up and down and back and forth a huge football field all while blowing on some type of horn. I get winded walking to my community mailbox.

[@ginnyhager4274]

Next to the three military schools, Texas A&M produces more military officers then any other school in the US. Back in the day, before it became a university, it was called, Texas A&M College, which stood for Agricultural and Military College. You may not have heard the guy when he said, “the nationally famous Fightin Texas Aggie Band “! If you care to check you will see they are the #1 college marching band in the nation.

[@hennagaijin100]

VMI

[@rockyroad7345]

A&M stands for Agricultural and Mechanical (not military).

[@Gada947]

@@hennagaijin100 Yes, VMI is considered one of the six senior military colleges, but it does not produce nearly as much military officers as Texas A&M does. VMI has less students than Texas A&M has in the corps of cadets. I’m in no means trying to diss VMI, because I got a few friends who go there.

[@hennagaijin100]

A&M = agricultural and mechanical. Not military. Try harder.

[@mszuzubookitty4646]

Nope, not Military. Mechanical. They send a ton of engineers out into the work force.

[@TheDisneyNation]

WHOOP!

[@MRxMADHATTER]

Don't forget the MOB! The Houston, TX Rice University Marching Owl Band (aka the MOB). They are naughty. They were so bad they had to march ingognito. The went on the field under a huge sheet. They played very softly and sort of just wandered around the field. I say huge sheet.....they only have a handfull of students in the band.

[@molls5563]

Former student ‘16!

[@frankmazurowski6653]

Not called alumni, we are former students

[@dalelmartin1973]

Once an Aggie, always an Aggie. Training in the Corps of Cadets leaves former students with a first class education, personal discipline, mental and spiritual strength and a code of ethics to live by for tge rest of allformer students'lives. Symbolism on rhe Senior Rings reminds Former Students who th eyy are every day!

[@hectorcuellar-ub3cj]

Whooop

[@clefablelover7801]

For practice: lot of time on fundamentals, about 8 hours on that particular drill

[@jonrobinson1958]

WHY WE ALWAYS WIN HALFTIME

[@MaryJade]

I am sincerely curious how many black eyes, broken teeth, and broken noses were the result of practicing for this...

[@HighlyCombustibleReacts]

OMG ME TOO!

[@suzanneyoung8011]

Depending upon what instrument they play, they remove it from their mouth while going through the cross. There is a video out there from a few years ago with a zoom on the center part, and a woman on the outside row falls down. She quickly gets up, has to go a few steps to retrieve her hat and then gets back into her spot.

[@mlawson2979]

Never heard of anything broken from the performance or practice from musical instruments… but lived in dorm overlooking their practice field and one year saw the new drum majors practicing and saw the main guy wack another one upside the head. As in the beginning of the routine you see, they spin their baton as they raise it. Takes some practice to spin it parallel to your body and not outwards it seems. Anyway, he wacked the other guy a couple times in a row as they were passing each other. It was brutal.

[@MaryJade]

@@mlawson2979 oh I can absolutely believe that. And I believe it hurt like hell lol

[@majkus]

I should hope that the first practices are done without instruments! Hard enough just to walk it!

[@pamplant3610]

Another Texas band as good as if not better is the University of Texas.

[@revjohnlee]

By and large, the t-sips are better musicians; t.u. actually has a music department and students who are studying music. The Aggies do not but they do march better. Most others just ooze across the field but the Ags march!

[@outhousemouse2010]

I would say 'Not Better", but I do love that HUGE TEXAS SIZED bass drum !! Awesome.

[@stischer47]

@@revjohnlee Ah yes, t.u....the university. Doesn't need to be capitalized because we know it's not that cow college up in COLLEGE Station. 😁

[@Anitguegaming]

@@stischer47 Those dildo carrying burnt orange wearing sissy band members have zero on marching when it comes to A&M. Unreal that it was even brought up. Oh thats because texas fans live and breath following A&M around. Following the Aggies right into the SEC.
