The Fightin' Texas Aggie Band |
The
Fightin' Texas Aggie Band (often just called the
Aggie Band) is the precision military
marching band of
Texas A&M University. The Aggie Band is composed of approximately 350 men and women from the school's
Corps of Cadets and the group is the largest military marching band in the
United States, performing at all of the school's
football games and in other special events, such as inaugural parades for presidents and governors.
*The combined band is composed of the infantry and artillery bands.
*Seniors in the band wear distinctive boots with their uniforms.
*The "Four-Way Crossthrough" requires band members to actually step between each's other's feet in order to complete the maneuver. This has led to the claim that the drill is impossible because it requires two band members to occupy the same physical space at the same time.
*The Aggie Band claims to be the only university or college band with its own television show.
