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?
Same 😝A&M consolidated hs class of 95, wish I had gotten the opportunity to go to A&M, my dad taught physics there til our move in 92. consol band was a great experience. Gig ‘em👍
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 RUclips. Thanks for posting.
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.
@@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.
@@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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
The band was really working those turns in between playing taking the horn down to flip around in diagonal march bombing each others Wow 🤩 good job band,makes me feel like an deep down Texas Man from Dallas Texas ✊🏾🤠
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.
This looks amazingly complicated and difficult to do but I have to say I dont really find it compelling to watch. Its probably because, as an Englishman, it's not something I have grown up with.
from what my daughter tells me, when the phrase was coined, they were fighting each other for the position of drum major. That was way back in the Old Army days.
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.
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.
@@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.
@@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."
"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."
Will never get tired of watching the Fightin' Texas Aggie Band👍
Lovely Halftime Performance form Texas Aggi Band show, only one in the world.
Have you ever seen Ohio State? They're by far the best! But Texas Aggies are good to 👌

I'm not a fan of Texas A&M but every time my youtube suggests a clip of the band, I always take the time to watch it. Awesome job.
Agreed

This always makes me cry! How wonderful to be an American!
And what a blessing to be an Aggie American.
Many are called.
Few make the cut.
Networks, please bring back televising college football halftimes!!
This band is spectacular!
You have to love the discipline of these young people.
If you have ever marched in a military band, you know that this is pride and joy.
You never forget!!!
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.

This is the best video of the Fighting Texas Aggie Band. It shows The precision of the close order drill as they march! Amazing!
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 !
Great video! Thanks for sharing for those of us who weren’t lucky enough to attend! Love the Fightin’ Texas Aggie Band ♥️
I like those tubas when they turn at the end of the row. Very unique .
Perfect and amazing! Epic! The crowd enjoys and loving it! Me too!
Wow amazing video l love it Beautiful Performance Band From Edinburg Texas
I still get chill bumps watching them never gets old! Gig’em Aggies! ‘86, ‘18
Renee Guidry those lines are straight! The sound is powerful! It doesn't get any better than the Texas A&M band.
Thank You, very good video of the Aggie Band. Gig'em ' 80 !
The national treasure of the great state of Texas - the FTAB!
Ohio State is better in my opinion
Ay Dios, eso sí es una belleza! 👏👏👏😊🎉🙌 Bendiciones para ellos, saludos desde la Guajira Colombia hasta Texas.
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.
Their formations are great.
It just absolutely never get's old. The best in the world! Gig'em Aggies
College football is the best.Buckeye fan.Aggies have best fight song
Wouldn't you rather see this at half time of the SB instead of some has-been "celebrity?" This year we get J-blow as in Jennifer Lopez. Sad.
NOTHING ELSE IN THE WORLD LIKE THIS AMAZING BAND, GIG'EM AGGIES!!!!!!
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.
Affectionally known as the BQs in my day... me? FDT Class of ‘73... whoop...
I’m a Mizzou Fan, but a SEC fan, too. The band is awesome no doubt.
I’m a vols fan but a sec fan too
Thanks to these videos, we can still view the band performing for Aggie games in Kyle Field regardless of Covid
Best Band in Texas !!! Gugem Aggies !!!!!💖🎶🌺🎶💘🎶❤️💘💖🎶💟🌺🇨🇱🇨🇱
God bless our Aggies! Class of 87!
Que belleza, que espectáculo! A mi me encantan 👏👏👏😊🙏🎉 Dios permita que sigan haciendo esto. Cuando eso no había pandemia.
Kudos to the Sousaphone player for picking up that drumstick at the very end
I love this band! A marching band that actually plays marches - how novel anymore!
I love the pride of the south land marching bang that plays rocky top
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.
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.
I’ve not been able to find time for this in my stressful, work-filled adult life. Really appreciate seeing talented bands like this.
How in bloody hell do thy do that? Amazing!
Que lindo 👏👏👏😊🙏🎉Dios los bendiga grandemente 😇🙏🎉
Love it
8:17 tuba grabs a dropped drumstick or bass mallet, props to you. Little bit left of the left hash marker
The band was really working those turns in between playing taking the horn down to flip around in diagonal march bombing each others
Wow 🤩 good job band,makes me feel like an deep down Texas Man from Dallas Texas ✊🏾🤠
Love the Aggie band!! ❤
As a woodwind player and having been in marching band every year, I would be pissed to having to march that close to the trumpet section.
Trombone King is one of my favorites.
This is the reason WE ALWAYS WIN HALFTIME!!!!! WHOOP '81

The Hogs are in over their heads in the SEC. A good coach? Lol.
Also, very well shot!
Work it band work it 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾💪🏾😃🎈
Incredible!
Spectaculaire.👍
What a show!! Did Patton really say he could win a battle with a West Pointer but win a war with an AGGIE?
louisiana state university (the old war skule) provided more officers in both world wars than aggies.
A&M has more CMH than all svc academies combined.
@@jerrylyons9279 IS THAT WHERE WM T SHERMAN TAUGHT SCHOOL?
i think it was grant.
i think it was grant, maybe he was also president.
great‼
BRAVO !
Who told those guys to jump their drums in the thumbnail?
Very cool! Precision marching by the toy soldiers of Texas A&M.
What’s the music at 5:20
This cannot be the same school my liberal ass cousin graduated from....can it? Btw, love it when they play the Ballad of the Green Berets!
This looks amazingly complicated and difficult to do but I have to say I dont really find it compelling to watch. Its probably because, as an Englishman, it's not something I have grown up with.
why are they a fighting band? who are they fighting?
from what my daughter tells me, when the phrase was coined, they were fighting each other for the position of drum major. That was way back in the Old Army days.
i kinda like that, tradition is still alive.
@@jerrylyons9279 texas a&m is all about tradition lol
Ghirardelli h
This is how boring American football is. They have to wake everybody up halfway through.
Class of 84 here. I'm not a fan of you.
did the announcer say Trump-stitution day? lol thats great if so

Oh the ignorance. It is military STYLE marching band. Nothing is stolen. A time honored tradition and they do a wonderful job.
Just saw this........Ohio State so much better !!!!!!
Carolyn Finkelmeier Dude chill, it’s college band, not competition. We perform to entertain the audience not to be the best
Are you kidding me ? ! ? Ohio state band is no where near as good or complicated as the Aggie marching drills .
Best band in the land !!!!! Is not just a slogan but the truth.........
Ohio state is literally like a Highschool band. A&M isn't
Cultists
