The noise you hear from the stands is the crowd singing the Fighting Texas Aggie song along with the band. It's amazing to be a part of it. Class of '88.

Nothing like watching a game at Kyle Field. Nobody leaves their seat during halftime because the band is so amazing to see in person.

What does it feel like? Hard work, teamwork. No place for prima donnas. You hear only your part because most of the others are ahead of you or in formation around you. You hear the crowd roar. You listen for the drum major's whistle. You listen for the beat down to the drum cadence. And you're on! I could never eat before a performance as I'd throw up. After the performance, I'd hit the concession to have something light to eat. Dinner would be waiting for me when I got home.

Lifetime Longhorn here: Aggie Band Knows How To March! Great Show!

[chadrush]

To see this live is one of the most impressive things you will ever see. No other band can be mentioned in the same breath with the Aggie band.

It's not just the fantastic band, it's the love you feel in the stadium when the band is playing ❤️🇺🇸

An interesting sidenote, the song they play at the beginning, the Aggie War Hymn, is their fight song. Their fight song and that of the University of Texas, their arch rivals, are the only university fight songs that start out putting down the other university. It's not unusual for university bands practice 40+ hours a week - they have a new show each week...for 12 weeks. This plus their studies. A&M is the largest military band in the world.

Fighting Texas Aggie band is the best damn band in all the land!

[johnrbreazeale]

In the 60's my high school band patterned its routines after the Aggie band including running onto the field. We even had intricate maneuvers like this one. We practiced every day from August thru football season. We learned a new routine each week. and memorized all songs we played. We won 1st place at marching contests every year. Our band director was inducted into the High School Hall of Fame of Texas. Best 4 years of my life.

Love watching the Fightin Aggie Band! Son is an Aggie grad! Love the atmosphrere in Kyle Field! Whoop!

I played in the Purdue University “All American” Marching Band in the early 70’s. We were the largest collegiate band at the time with over 550 members. We practiced about 3 hours every day after classes. On game day we played a pregame concert at an outdoor amphitheater, then a pregame show on the field followed by the halftime show. Finally a postgame concert on the field and then another show at the Executive building. Pretty amazing for a university without a music school. Our style was more pageantry oriented. I remember my band days more than any other class that I attended.

As someone who Marched with FTAB for a year now and excited to return for another… we practice roughly 2 hours every weekday with the Bugle rank practicing for numerous hours the Sunday night before. Then we will practice for an hour or two Saturday morning before the game. The time spent however is not the main reason behind our success. It is the self-discipline, precision, and culture of our Band and our rehearsals that enable us to be the Best Damn out outfit anywhere and the best Band in the world. It always fills me with Enduring pride to watch one of these reactions and I really do hope you’ll go back and watch some more of our lovely band. I recommend the 2022 UMass game. I personally marched in that halftime and have received so many comments saying it is among the best halftimes ever for the FTAB. God Bless and Gig Em

I’m a graduate of 1992. Wasn’t in the corp, but the many traditions of the school are corp. The students in the stands stand all four hours of the game. We be happy to have you for yell practice before the game and to attend a game at Kyle field.

Former member of the Fightin’ Texas Aggie Band (FTAB) here. BQ Class of 2024

There is a lot information about the FTAB all over the internet but four note worthy mentions I would like to address is the FTAB “Step-Off”, Uniforms, Sousaphones (or more commonly known as Tuba’s) and the Corps Hump-It.

1. Prior to any FTAB performance, the Head Drum Major or the leading conductor of the band (there are 3 Drum Majors), announces the words “Recall, Step-Off On Hullabaloo”. The Bugle-Rank along with the band sound the Bugle Call “Recall”; then the Band steps off on the word “Hullabaloo” (the first word in the schools fight song or “War Hymn”). Some have said "Hullabaloo, caneck, caneck" is related to the sound of train wheels going over rails or a cannon being loaded. When asked by a state legislator in 1972, university president Dr. Jack K. Williams said, "It is Chickasaw Indian for 'Beat the hell out of the University of Texas.'"

2. The uniforms of the Corps of Cadets are renditions of U.S. Army WWII/Vietnam Era uniforms and every member of the Cadet Corps wears these uniforms with unique uniform items to differentiate their academic, military and extra curricular participation and service. Similarly, the Drum Majors (the individuals leading FTAB) carry a mace in lieu of a musical instrument to conduct the band. But they are the only individuals in the Corps of Cadets who have chrome uniform items instead of the traditional gold like the rest of the cadets in uniform.

3. In FTAB, the Sousaphone is known as a ‘Bass’ and not a Tuba. The University of Texas or t.u. for short, is and has been Texas A&M’s long standing rival and to spell the word “Tuba”, would be require to unite the letters T and U together. This unfortunate reality has required Aggie Bandsmen to be creative and refer to the Sousaphone as a “Bass”.

4. At the end of an FTAB performance, the band creates their signature “Block-T” formation. But in this very specific case, this Block-T formation is made up of the entirety of the Corps of Cadets (both band and non-band members). Traditionally, this occurs during the football season where Texas A&M is playing their rival school. The Corps of Cadets gather and yell the Corps Hump-It. Which is as follows:

“The Fighting Texas Aggie Cadet Corps…
The Twelth Man…
The Spirit of Aggieland…
The Best Damn Outfit Anywhere!”

I hope this information is insightful and helpful.

Thank You & Gig ‘Em Aggies 👍

I'm a graduate of the United States Air Force Academy, my son is a graduate of the United States Military Academy at West Point, my son-in-law's brother graduated from the United States Naval Academy at Annapolis, and the US Service Academies have amazing traditions. My two eldest children graduated from Texas A&M University at College Station, and I still have not been exposed to a school of higher education (to include the US Service Academies) that rivals the traditions of Texas A&M. It's not possible to describe in a short comment, so I encourage you to "Google" it. The basis of "Aggie" culture is positivity, so to whet your appetite, my favorite is that Texas A&M never loses--they may run out of time or they may be outscored, but they never lose.

[jameswingert]

Your genuine amazement at seeing Marching Bands for the first time is so fun to watch.

[VadersRage]

I've worked for nearly 30 years at these "kids" are on the practice field MONTHS before instruction begins and practice for hours and hours each day.

I always know the summer is over and the fall semester is about to begin when I hear close to 20 members of just the drum corps practicing in one of the campus parking structures. The acoustics are amazing.

[IFSTherapyRealResults]

Graduated in 1989 from Texas A&M and there was a whole community feeling, not just with the Marching Band, but everyone on campus had an incredible place in their heart and love for the band and honor them as the Spirit of Aggieland. Was incredible to go to the football game and then see the band. Very fun memories.

[judithnash]

Patriotic is exactly how I feel everytime I watch the Texas Aggie band!!!
