I can truly say that I have missed the 'greatest marching band in the world'. It's been over 20 years and I'm glad to find this video. Thanks for the upload!!!! from Hog Country!!!!
Absolutely great video! If you've never been to an Aggie game and seen the band marching into the field, half time, and even the "men" yell leaders, you haven't seen a college game! There's nothing else like it... long live the A&M Spirit!
Went to all of the games before our daughter and son-in-law graduated from A&M in 1997. Have stood in the student section and loved every minute. When they graduated, we bought seasons tickets and have had the same 4 seats for 10 years. This band is just awesome and I especially love the way the big old tubas turn. We all bleed maroon. Gig 'em, Aggies and beat the hell out of Kansas today.
I'm not one to tear up, but seeing the Aggie band after missing them for several years, it was a feeling I can't explain. It's the same feeling I sometimes get when the national anthem is played. The Aggie band is the best part of the football game experience. Signed Class of '74
As a loyal UNT eagle and member of the Green Brigade, a good Aggie friend of mine and I often hotly contest whose band is best. Despite strong loyalty to my own alma mater, I can't help but be blown away by what this band does on the field. It's unique, classic, and spectacularly executed. Might even steal some of these for my high school someday. Keep it up A&M!!!
I'm an OU fan and was at the game. This is the best performance I've EVER seen performed at a halftime show; including our own. Thank you for posting this!
I'm not even an aggie fan but I have to give it to you! This band is AMAZING and this is the most awesome performance that i have ever seen!! WOW! It brought tears to my eyes at how dedicated these band member must be in order to pull off such an excellent presentation!!!
I remember I first watched them in Lincoln. I was amazed. The A&M band, and your visiting fans made for a over the top enjoyable game. Huskerland welcomes you guys anytime, I'll get the grill going, but you have to bring your band.
I swear A&M has the most badass band in the world! just got back from my first ever Aggie football game where we BTHO SMU!!!! 46-14! class of 2015!!!! AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Texas A&M is great because they do there own thing, and they do it with class. People are always saying their band is the best because they play louder or march faster. All you got to do is pick a way to do stuff and do it the best. Texas A&M doesn't play the flashiest music or use a high step but they march 6 to 5, and their drill is phenomenal with that size band. Congratulations Texas A&M, you sure do deserve it. Fellow Bando from the Big 10
HULLABALOO CANECK CANECK.....I LOVE THE AGGIE MARCHING BAND!!! There's always going to be SOMEONE who turns their nose up when they see something good, and all that says to me is that their 'arrogance' won't allow them to say 'AWESOME' to anyone other than their reflection in the mirror, so I don't pay attention to their '2 cents' worth, as that's pretty much all it's worth. The Aggie Marching Band is AWESOME, and it's obvious they put in a tremendous amount of work. THEY TOTALLY ROCK!
....and again, THIS BAND, this band, THIS BAND, is one of the strong points in arguing about A&M! my family is (hispanic) so of course they rout(e) for the team they know best which is t.u., but I and several other family member broke that nonse and were Aggies! whether we went to A&M or not, we're still die-hard fans! Gig'em Aggies!
Just one word ... Awes..no wait...Magni....hold up...Remar. I guess there is no word to describe this totally Awesome, Magnificent, Remarkable or whatever you want to describe this performance on video. THANKS FOR SHARING!
I saw this marching band in Lincoln several years ago (whatever year it was where the Cornhuskers shut A&M out like 37-0 and blocked 3 field goals*), but I have to say the Aggie marching band is f***ing incredible. When we weren't cheering we stared in spellbound silence. *Don't ask me how the Cornhuskers have done vs. A&M lately though.
I understand what you're saying. I was in a military style band in high school, but now I'm in the Longhorn band. It's a lot different than what I was used to
traverse or "slide" marching (with the upper half of the torso rotated at a 90 degree angle away from the lower half, pointed at the press box or judging booth) and especially the crab step are some of the more difficult ones I can think of right off hand. And maintaining an arc can be just as hard, if not harder, than maintaining a diagonal. I've done both and I personally found the arc to be harder, but mainly big long arcs.
Trying to come up with the best bowl game matchup, band wise. A&M versus who? Michigan? USC ? Ohio State? No matter who, it would be another win for the peerless Fighting Aggies Band.
The Pride of The Southland Band is one of the oldest bands in the nation. It formed in 1869 under the military department of the school. It's first uniform was a West Point style uniform and moved to a WW I style uniform by 1917. The Pride stayed under the military depart. for about 100 years until seperating in 1961. To this day The Pride is a very hard band to be a member of. They are still very militaristic and they still wear military style uniforms. (homage to their military background)
Awesome, my High school band (Ennis tx) also play this fight song when we make our E on the feild. We have also played invictus in the past but we are much smaller so it wasn't as epic.
I grew up a Texas fan and went to Alabama, but I went to my share of A&M games with friends and their families when I was a kid. Texas A&M used to be strictly a military academy, and the band is one of the things at A&M that still retains the military tradition. In essence, the Aggie Band is a military marching band, and military marching bands don't play "to the crowd". That's my take, but I'm no expert and I may be right or wrong but that's how I've always understood the Aggie tradition.
And, contrary to what you said, it is easy to tell if someone is off in an arc. It's easy to tell by whether or not the arc looks "flat" on one side from the vantage point of someone in the stands. It's also easy to tell if someone in the arc is off by looking whether or not the spacing between the marchers is uneven. And you can tell easily whether the step size is uneven and whether or not the body carriage is right. Like I said, though, both style have little intricacies...(cont'd)
love the "dog face soldjer" ,to hell and back with Audie Murphy. part of the show. saw an Aggie band member going into the Astrodome once as i was coming in from the parking lot...larger than life, larger than life.....my son lost his wallet during the game, in the bleachers. We got a call later, an Aggie had found it and tracked down who it belonged to, before cell phones and computers.... High calibre men and women, all.
In corps style marching, I would say that the moves are less about flashy pageantry and more about flowing smoothly and presenting a concept--the "theme" of the show, if you will. And there are some really difficult moves in corps style marching as well. Rolling the feet, backwards marching, ...(cont'd)
lol correction *sousaphone* anyways....im an 8th grader with big dreams of serving on this band and going to texas a&m, my dream is to one day be on the feild on one of these shows.
High school bands do the same show for four months. The college band I was in did a different show for every game. I am sure it is the same for the Aggie band.
I've actually marched both styles and I think each style has its own little intricacies that make them both hard to learn and perform. Or, in some cases, easy to learn but hard to master. For example, in military marching, there are a lot of little intricate moves (such as the pop-step in a counter march) because the moves have to be crisp and sharp: the military style demands a lot of pageantry.
I too am a Longhorn fan since the days Of Giov Price Daniels and Darrell Royal but no one including Texas has a better Precision drill band than Texas A& M
I hope all the longhorns would admit that aggies has a better band as much as the aggies would admitted that the longhorns has a awesome football team. You should see A&M's 4-way crossing, which was known as the impossible drill. even the computer couldn't figured out how it worked.
It baffles me that the crowd is so awed by the easy maneuvers, but seems so unimpressed by the hard stuff. For example, the block split at 4:40 incites ooh's and aah's from the crowd... EASIEST MOVE IN THE ENTIRE DRILL. BUT... the criss-cross oblique maneuver at 3:20 gets almost no response... does anybody have any idea how HARD that is? Football fans baffle me. They have no idea how good this band really is. They just cheer for them because it's their band. Band: WIN Crowd: FAIL
Wow... Not my cup of tea (that style of marching anyway), but at the same time, I don't think I've ever seen anything quite like that before. That was really really cool.
Been a UT fan for over 50 years. It was a sad day for all of football when A&M left the Big 12. I tell all the aggie jokes but I freely admit that its hard to get a better education than you can get at A&M. Second fight song I ever learned after Texas Fight was A&M's. I dislike the aggies only slightly less than the Sooners. But yes, that band can march.
that make each hard to master. And besides, look at video footage of ANY DCI corps, especially footage of their rehearsals, and tell me that they don't work hard and that what they do isn't hard. (I would recommend The Cavaliers.)
I wouldn't say it's not hard or people don't work. Any band, marching group, or performance group is going to work hard to be the best at what they are. Nothing is easy when you want it to be at a level that will please a crowd, but I don't think DCI does anything others couldn't do or incorporate if they really wanted to.
If their football team had this much unity and coordination they'd win the Big 12 every year. They should fire all their football coaches and hire the band director to coach.
@diewellsemperfi This Aggie disagrees. So you are saying that being loyal to you Alma Mater, country and standing behind your values is "kinda pathetic to the 'real world' outside of College Station." Military style marching is not enjoyable? To whom? I think the 80,000 Aggies that attend the football games and watch the band do not subscribe to your point of view. Not only that, I have heard non Aggies comment on how professional the Aggie Marching Band is.
True, a monkey CAN be taught to walk in a straight line, turn around and walk back in the same straight line. You've proved that to the world. But what you can't train it to do is to do it with class, with flair, and with pageantry, which is what the military style is all about. And it is NOT as easy as it looks.
I have looked through several videos of this band. Is that really how this band operates halftime? They play the same piece every game of every season and just mix up the drill? I have nothing bad to say about the music or the marching. Everything looks and sounds fantastic. What surprises is me that this crowd eats it up every time. It may be that I am used to a different brand of college marching band that involves exciting music and visual excitement. This just seems bland to me.
I'ver never been corp style in any of my years in band. The closet I came is my middle school band that probably didn't do either style more than one football game per year. But from what I've been told by people and read in a lot of band materials, many switch to corp style years ago because they thought it would be easier to do the things they need to do at a high level as a corp style band. Not criticizing just saying what I've heard and read.
hey bro don't be sad that my degree will actually be worth the paper it's printed on when I graduate... That is if you do graduate. But hold on to your football team if you must, who knows I might even hire you some day. Isn't Vince gone by the way?
That guy has to be smoking something. Military style boring? Please!!!!! I mean DCI is cool. My high school director took us to two events when I was in band.I think it gets a little over the top at times, but I think you can be military style and still mix in popular music and some showmanship elements like DCI does if you keep it to a minimum.
It's been so long since I saw anyone march in military style that I forget how boring it could be. These guys are really good at what they do, but I don't find it very entertaining. And not just because I hate Sousa so much.
Sure it can be impressive, but Corps and DCI Style can cover up a lot of mistakes and in some cases poor musicianship. In the military style you have to do everything correctly or it really shows.
watch?v=Mm-Q45cCDPw&feature=related Now you can't tell me that this clip is boring. I'm not the biggest fan of this band, and I wish they'd find ways to mix in something America the Beautiful and a march, but it's certainly not boring
others might say how routine, how old fashioned, how lame and all else this band is. BUT this band is THE (i said guhdamn holyshit wowsas goodness gracious!) of marching bands. WE don't need no fancy drills or call them them the 'showband of the southwest'. THEY COME AND ROCK YOUR SOCKS OFF.
you must be one of thise that cant walk and chew gum at the same time The timing and precision and hours to do this show and to have someone run down the uniforms and say they would be embarrassed to wear these uniforms Dont join the military
Have to agree, crazyboymarching, my high school band does more complicated forms than that. They didn't make a single arc, let alone many step size changes, they always faced the direction they were going: why not slide?
I can truly say that I have missed the 'greatest marching band in the world'. It's been over 20 years and I'm glad to find this video. Thanks for the upload!!!!

I have seen the Baylor Band, The Nebraska Band, The Longhorn Band, but never have I seen a band as good as the FIGHTING AGGIE BAND!
Please accept the admiration of an ardent Longhorn fan. This was an exemplary performance.
That's why I went to a lot of the games....regardless of whether we lost or won, the band made it worth it!
These people are really good. I used to be in my school's marching band and what we did is nothing compared to this.
I swear A&M has the most badass band in the world! just got back from my first ever Aggie football game where we BTHO SMU!!!! 46-14! class of 2015!!!! AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Thank-you, all 303 of you!

A&M's band is amazing!! Awesome, i'm an eighth grader!!! My mom went to A&M and even when she went she said the band was amazing
love the "dog face soldjer"
,to hell and back with Audie Murphy.
part of the show.
saw an Aggie band member going into the Astrodome once as i was coming in from the parking lot...larger than life, larger than life.....my son lost his wallet during the game, in the bleachers. We got a call later, an Aggie had found it and tracked down who it belonged to, before cell phones and computers.... High calibre men and women, all.
Oh it's definitely worth it!
Hmmm I seem to remember something about the aggies beating the horns at football this season too....
aggies kicked TU ass this year..thank you
whoooooooooooooop !

I love the one guy, " What is going on??" XD
High school bands do the same show for four months. The college band I was in did a different show for every game. I am sure it is the same for the Aggie band.
@brittanyxface YAY! Are you going to Impact?!
My favorite
Friggin' awesome!!! Gig' Em Aggies!!!
AWESOME, GIG'EM AGGIE!!!
A&M may not win every game, but the Aggie Band has NEVER lost a halftime.

hey bro don't be sad that my degree will actually be worth the paper it's printed on when I graduate... That is if you do graduate. But hold on to your football team if you must, who knows I might even hire you some day.
Isn't Vince gone by the way?
You mean TAM @DDSproductions08

Who won this game? Oh yeah, BOOMER SOONER!
But seriously, Aggies band rules!
It's been so long since I saw anyone march in military style that I forget how boring it could be. These guys are really good at what they do, but I don't find it very entertaining.
And not just because I hate Sousa so much.

hahha reallu nice

im really impressed but military syle marching is not my thing especialy for the drumline it be too boring

Now you can't tell me that this clip is boring. I'm not the biggest fan of this band, and I wish they'd find ways to mix in something America the Beautiful and a march, but it's certainly not boring
others might say how routine, how old fashioned, how lame and all else this band is. BUT this band is THE (i said guhdamn holyshit wowsas goodness gracious!) of marching bands. WE don't need no fancy drills or call them them the 'showband of the southwest'. THEY COME AND ROCK YOUR SOCKS OFF.
hookem
Hmm not enough people in this band I'd say
Nice band but the Tennessee Circle Drill from the University of Tennessee is a better show.
looks and sounds like a russian military band
you must be one of thise that cant walk and chew gum at the same time The timing and precision and hours to do this show and to have someone run down the uniforms and say they would be embarrassed to wear these uniforms Dont join the military
Have to agree, crazyboymarching, my high school band does more complicated forms than that. They didn't make a single arc, let alone many step size changes, they always faced the direction they were going: why not slide?
