The Fightin’ Aggie Band has marched for 71 years before Southwest football fans. The large military organization will perform for the public at Aggie football games this fall, entrancing thousands with its precision maneuvers on the gridiron. First formed by a Czechoslovakian cobbler and a dozen other musicians in 1894, the band sounds the pulse of athletic contests, 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-curricular and band members receive no material compensation for membership. The unique organization has no scholarships, music majors nor auditions. The only prerequisite 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.
