THE BATTALIcB——
Texas Aggie Band Leads The Wa
Texas A&M’s Fightin’ Aggie
Band has marched through 70
years into the hearts of South
west football fans.
The large military organiza
tion will be on public display at
Aggie football games this fall,
entrancing thousands with its
precision maneuvers on the grid
iron.
First formed by a Czechoslo
vakian cobbler and a dozen other
musicians in 1894, the band
sounds the pulse of athletic con
tests, reviews, parades and other
campus functions.
Its stirring halftime shows are
designed and installed in four
hours a week, before and after
classes. Practice is extra-curric
ular and band members receive
no material compensation for
membership.
The unique organization has
no scholarships, music majors
nor auditions. The only prereq
uisite is previous playing and
marching experience.
Members come from most of
the 50 states, several foreign
countries and major in subjects
from aerospace engineering to
zoology. The 12 file wide and 22
rank deep unit covers 35 yards of
gridiron and requires three drum
majors for coordinated control.

As one can see, Texas doesn’t
