Campus Life

The Fightin’ Texas Aggie Band

“The Pulse of the Spirit of Aggieland” is nationally famous for its precision marching on the football gridiron. The band also provides music for military reviews, parades, yell practices, special events on and off campus, as well as other athletic contests. As an integral part of Texas A&M University’s Corps of Cadets, the band operates under strict military guidelines. All members of the Fightin’ Texas Aggie Band are required to be in the Corps of Cadets and are housed in Corps of Cadets dormitories, which are adjacent to the band’s own drill field and the E.V. Adams Band Building. Band cadets may join either the Army, Air Force or Navy/Marine ROTC programs.

Interested new students must have had high school band experience and pass a playing audition during their new student conference. Students are encouraged to bring their own instruments although a number of University-owned instruments are available. Members receive credit for required KINE 199 by participating in the Fightin’ Texas Aggie Band. Members are also eligible to apply for numerous scholarships offered through the Corps of Cadets and ROTC programs. For more information, please call (979) 845-3529.
