Texas Aggie Band Sept 15 2018

[@aggiemomcarver8952]

Will never get tired of watching the Fightin' Texas Aggie Band👍

[@PappyHolliday]

I’m a Gamecock fan and love watching these Texas A&M Fighting Aggies Band. So much discipline and talent out there on the field. I don’t care for the football team but love the band. How could anyone not love them?

[@carlozabbia1157]

They make it look so easy. Can't wait to see the flying cross again. I've been an Aggie fan as long as i can remember. My family moved to Ennis, Texas, when I was in the 2nd grade. The public school's colors were maroon and white, and their fight song was and still is the Aggie War Hymn. I remember that half of Ennis traveled to College Station in 1975 to watch the Ennis Lions win the state championship in football. It must have been odd for the college students to hear their war hymn from a "foreign band." And those memories rush in every time i watch an A&M football game, or watch the Fightin' Texas Aggie Band perform on KZbin. Thanks for posting.

I like those tubas when they turn at the end of the row. Very unique .

If you have ever marched in a military band, you know that this is pride and joy.

You never forget!!!

[@robertmccoin1166]

A&M is not a Military Band. The cadets have no obligation to any branch of the US Military upon graduation. They are simply a college band.

[@jamesanderson7266]

Robert McCoin is totally wrong. Every last member of the Texas A&M Band is a member of the Corp of Cadets. To refer to them as just another college band is ignorant if not delusional. These kids are patriots with a love of country, living a lifestyle of discipline to the same extent as any of the other military schools. No they are not required to enlist upon graduation but many do and they are all prepared should they choose to take that route.

[@toddrf]

@@robertmccoin1166 I just ran across this and feel some correction is needed. Texas A&M is one of six "senior military colleges" in the US . As such, they established a Corps of Cadets and an ROTC program under 10 USC 2111a(f). The A&M Corps of Cadets is roughly 2400-2500 cadets in size, and approximately 40-45% of them are part of the ROTC program on track to commission in one of the four main military branches. All cadets take ROTC classes for two years. The Aggie Band is comprised of approximately 370 of these cadets, so many of them, like my daughter, are contracted with a branch of service. This is the long way of saying that you are totally and completely wrong. Please stop commenting on things you are ignorant about. Edit: i read more of the comments and see that you just have an ax to grind.

[@toddrf]

@@jamesanderson7266 Again, to be clear, roughly 40-45% of the Corps are in ROTC and committed by contract to commissioning (as an officer, not enlisted) upon graduation. That should work out to 900-1000 commissioned officers every year. They do live a military lifestyle, wear a uniform every day, and are subject to military-style discipline. The FTAB is composed from cadets in the Corps, so many of bandsmen will become officers when they graduate.

[@samanthagomez7074]

Wow amazing video l love it Beautiful Performance Band From Edinburg Texas

[@ObamAmerican48]

Ahh, I've missed the hymn. That was my ringtone until I upgraded my phone a bout six months ago. Need to download it again. Love the fightin' Aggie band.

[@j.d.peppmeier9041]

I am an Army vet and always look to see if I can find an Aggie cadet out of step. I always fail to do so and that is a good thing !

[@tangoxraysierra]

I grew up admiring this hugely talented organization, living in College Station. I marched in their space several times a year; so proud to be drum major of A&M Consolidated.

[@tangoxraysierra]

Participating in any chorale has been the most satisfying, most brain-shaking, reset feeling I’ve ever known. I’d never have spent 1/8 of my life doing so otherwise.

[@tangoxraysierra]

I’ve not been able to find time for this in my stressful, work-filled adult life. Really appreciate seeing talented bands like this.

[@carolynbussey6013]

It just absolutely never get's old. The best in the world! Gig'em Aggies

Thanks to these videos, we can still view the band performing for Aggie games in Kyle Field regardless of Covid

[@patcook4010]

Great shot from above. Thanks for the nice tight shots. Thanks for posting. Still the best college marching band out there. Marching one game with them would be on my bucket list.

[@randycoger2525]

The Aggies have always done a great job in what ever they do. I wish the "tight shots" were omitted, it took away from artistic work of choreograph. Always pull for Aggies until they play the Hogs. Both of our schools NOW have a good football coach, so things will get better, especially for the Razorbacks.

[@robertmccoin1166]

The Hogs are in over their heads in the SEC. A good coach? Lol.

[@robertmccoin1166]

Take a look at the A&M Band. As approximately 65% of these "cadets" will never serve 1 day in any military branch. There are no requirements for A&M cadets to serve at all after they graduate. It is very annoying listening to all these comments regarding the "military band". It is damn near stolen valor because most of the cadets will never be in the military at all.

[@drewserrero5356]

Robert McCoin It’s a Military-style band, not a military band. It’s not stolen valor, the band members represent Texas AnM University, and are not claiming to have served under any branch of the US military.

[@robertmccoin1166]

@@drewserrero5356 I understand that. I am taking about the cadets in general. It is weird to dress up as if you are military for 4 years and then just walk of with a degree. If you are a regular student then be a regular student. A&M is not a military academy but they allow a misconception that they somehow have a military connection.

[@Agben35]

@@robertmccoin1166 might want to educate yourself before talking out your butt...... "From Wikipedia: Approximately 45 percent[1] of the members of the Cadet Corps receive a commission in the United States Armed Forces upon graduation. Under federal law, Texas A&M University is the largest of six U.S. colleges that are classified as senior military colleges."

[@Agben35]

"During World War II, Texas A.M.C. produced 20,229 Aggies who served in combat. Of those, 14,123 were commissioned as officers, more than the combined total of the United States Naval Academy and the United States Military Academy during the same timeframe."
