The Aggie War Hymn and the rest of their band's songs. They've got a damn good band...

I'll admit, I clicked on this thread half expecting it to be a blank post.

For the blank post

I remember growing up in East Texas and going to the A&M/LSU games in Baton Rouge and vice versa in College Station. I was jealous of the SEC vs the SWC then, and I hope the Aggie Band makes many trips to Tiger Stadium

the last baylor/aggie game at Kyle Field I sat next to some baylor girls , anyway one of them said something to the effect of, OH MY LAWD, their band is so much better than ours! they make us look just pathetic out there. said in very 'waco country' voice.

Is that the game the Baylor band did the Michael Jackson routine? It was actually good for them

ETA: so people don't think I thought BU's band was actually good. Just good for them

yep. that was some awful shite. I go to a lot of Texas 5A games, and many HS bands blow them out of the water. maybe it was the fact I was too close to the sidelines and the green and gold was blinding me.

A positive A&M thread...little miracle.

But thanks for the kind words, they're something I know the SEC would love.

i very much enjoy their band. i guess it's because i like marches and military type songs a lot (along with just about every other genre). and as far as i knnow, it's the only college band in the country that plays that. if i was a student i'd probably get tired of it, but seeing them occasionaly is cool. i'm not into public genital squeezing but i like me some texas a&m band.

i doubt any schools will talk shite about your band. there's no denying you guys own and nationwide you are well respected. everything else.....different story.

I do like aTm's band, but don't think it's any better than LSU's band...just different. aTm fan used to allways yell "wait til you see a real band" at Tiger Stadium when we played back in the early 90's. After someone punched them in the face, they shut up, but still acted like they had the only college band worth a damn...

A&M's band sounds pretty bad. They march as good as anybody in the country...their drill is legit.

That said, it's the same shows every year, it should be good. It's military music, which is a nice throwback I admit.

But their playing is pretty mediocre.

Then again, pretty sure you can't major in music at A&M, which is a reason that the band won't have the sound of other notable bands.

A bloody fist fight broke out in the stands during the '94 game and I asked an old LSU fan next to me if he could see how the fight started, and without blinking he said "somebody probably made a joke about the Aggie band."

Serious bidness.
