Fightin' Texas Aggie Band! The Best Half Time Show Ever! 

My hat off to all marching bands whether highschool or college. These musicians work their behinds off to not only learn their music and the choreography as well. Those who criticize are usually the ones that have never marched before. It can take years of dedicated work and bonding as a family to reach the level of perfection that these bands have done regardless of size or the volume of their music. When most kids are enjoying their school break band members are busy perfecting their shows sometimes practicing upwards of 10 to 12 hours a day. I only know this because my daughter marches for our local highschool and these students have a level of passion that can't be put into words.😁

I absolutely love the Texas band They are watched in Europe and people are amazed at their talent.

I just know if I was in a band like this that somehow I would manage to screw up the routine by walking the wrong way! Great precision, practice and music!😀😀😀

Those students and staff are Amazing! My hats off to those who can accomplish such challenging tasks and make it look flawless

Normally I don't get into bands but this show is top notch. Very impressive! 😂

What a spectacular show the choreography on display by this band I certainly enjoyed it first class

I used to do this in high school and it's not easy to play and march at the same time! But this is over the top!!

Outstanding marching band performance. Hats off to all HS and college students who serve in the marching band🎉

I love watching marching bands, this is superb🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉

That was outstanding …….. Congratulations to all of you for your hard work and dedication !!!! 👏👏👏👏😘

Flawless!

Hi from New Zealand. Totally awesome. Thanks for sharing .

Wow... That was absolutely out standing performance I have ever seen in my entire life! God bless you all😁🙏🖖💝

That was Amazing. This is 12 years ago😅 But glad to see this. I didnt have a cellphone back then. Thank you for showing this. ❤

Humanity at its finest❤🎉🌟💪💯🎼💯💪🌟🎉❤🙏

And when I was in Navy boot camp, we couldn’t stay in step just marching without instruments and playing them at the same time like these guys are doing. Kudos.

Lifetime Longhorn Here! But Whadda GREAT Show! You Aggies performed a PERFECT show!

Absolutely fantastic routine.❤️❤️❤️

Football is just something to kill time while waiting for the BAND!

Ive always wanted our high school to do a band ' reunion, and have members from 1972 on up to participate in a halftime show! I still have my trumpet my Mother bought for me in 1975, when I was a 5th grader. It looks rough, but still plays. My case burned in a house fire in 1977, and I was never able to get another one.

Outstanding!!!!

And no one left their seats. Now thats well deserved spirit and respect. Well done.

Congratulations Jay on many years of success with the band. Good luck in retirement.

I love this band. They work so hard! Where is our collie?

Wow 🤩👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

finally. a camera angle and width and height that lets us see what spectator sees! soccer and football cameramen take note: the perspective is of the team effort not that of an individual! and the cameraman is NOT on Ritalin so as to change zoom and angle every second.

Incredible

That's alot of hours of practice on that field!! Wow!!

I wish they would bring back marching bands for The Super Bowl halftime show.

Wow!!! Talk about precsion!, as members you should be proud of that moment in time! ( could have done without the annoucer )

this is what i missed when i use to watch sports online, they just want to talk and talk about players doing what in past quarters, but screw that, some of us would of like to of watched the half time activities. had those when you went to live games, didnt see any talking. now i don't eve watch sports, except if my college wins a bowl game, or golf, where you have to play to win anything, not a sport where you can go on strike for more money, even if the players are playing lousy they want more money. thats not sports. or swimming.

Utterly FANTASTIC!!

Go Aggies!!!

This reminds me of a big flock of birds in flight changing directions and never getting it wrong.

Bands are so much more enjoyable than halftime statistics.

NUTTIN' TO IT!..said no one ever.

These cats are on point

Just reminder. Play it loud 🤪❤️❤️🎄

beautiful!!!

Rallying, Old School, Super Duper. Go Team !!!

Thanks for sharing

The Best of the Best! Great!

Incredible!

That is so cool. Great job

1973 Granada Hills Fighting Highlanders. There were none better .

Amazing ❤

Maybe the best Aggie band show ever. Can't hold a candle to TBDBITL.

Gig ‘em Aggies!

❤❤❤ Perfect!!❤️❤️❤️

Magnificent!

All this marching while entertaining us with music.

Too many negative comments. I'm actually glad that there is still a military style band like this at a university. It might not be crowd-friendly like the Big Ten college bands or have interesting sets like drum corps, but they've chosen to keep tradition and it separates them from other bands.

WOW, simply AMAZING!! I don't understand why so many people give them a thumbs down. I could watch them all night. JUST AWESOME!!

Interesting enough, they are the only band in the country that can perform the double minstrel turn. Many have tried but can't figure it out. The turn was created by a high school band instructor, Jack Herweg, in Plattsmouth, Nebraska back in the early 70"s. Many band leaders contacted Herweg wanting to know how to do it over the years, but he did not share it. This Texas band leader finally figured it out on his own. Herweg attended many A&M football games over the years just to watch his double minstrel performed. He is gone now but his infamous double minstrel turn lives on!!

I have played for years these musicians today are awesome. The presentation the uniformity the dynamic. They demonstrated great technic great expression. The example of how the rudiments are played when put together the correct way KUDOS TO ALL THE DRUMMERS IN A PROGRESSIVE DRUM LINE TODAY.

Everything is Big in Texas and this is the Biggest Best Band. Love this, everyone is dedicated. This is Awesome, Thank You . You Rock!!!

People who are saying this is boring don't really understand military music and precision. Granted, this is a college but they are executing the military styles that military bands around the world have done for hundreds of years. This form of tradition deserves appreciation.

I attended the University of Texas and I dig this Aggie band.

To all the people that are hating right now, I'm sure half of you don't even know how to play an instrument, and to the other half of you, you don't know how to appreciate a truly good marching band. Granted that this is not my style of marching, I am more of a core style marching person, but to the people who are posting negative comments on here you have no idea the amount of dedication those young adults put forth. And if any of you are in marching band and hating... shame on you

Class of '56. Gig 'em. I was privileged to see the band often. Loved every minute. These young men and women have made this the best of all college/university bands. Still get chills when they start up with Hullabaloo. Other schools have to envy these great students.

It gives me goosebumps when I hear the crowd echoing the announcer in the beginning.

I have to say something because there are so many ignorant comments on this video. People need to appreciate what this band is doing and all the hard work that goes into making a drill like this. The Aggie Band is a military style marching band and can not be compared to other university marching bands such as Ohio State, it's like comparing apples to oranges.

Simply...the BEST....Perfection every time! Gig'em Aggies

This was incredible. Don't anybody ever doubt the unity of America!

I wondered what so many members could do. I am amazed at the ingenuity of their formations. Bravo!

They are truly the best Marching Band I have ever seen!

It's one thing to watch them on RU-vid but I had the pleasure of spending a day with the band a few days ago as part of the Spend the Night with the Corps program. All I can say is that I am more eager than ever to join their ranks.

all the moves and they did not missed a note fantastic

I've never seen better 👍🏻

Aren't they just fabulous?! Best in the world!

Band gives me goose bumps.

They r on my bucket list to see live and in person!

Fabulous!!!

Outrageous!! Fantastic!! Crazzy Gooood!!!

I went to a game between Houston and A&M in the Astrodome in the 1980s just to see this band. I've been a fan ever since.

Fabulous. There's no other word for it. Just fabulous.

I'm from Austin; born and raised and make no apologies to anyone anywhere that I am imprinted on Texas culture and values. I did not pursue higher education (ACC 1 year) and I must tell you that everybody I have ever met that graduated from A&M, currently attending A&M or recently admitted to A&M are the most impressive individuals I have known in my 52 years. All are the "highest quality" men and women in intellect, composure and morality. None are in any way lazy or slothful and the kind of people others depend on because they do the work, make the decision or keep their word. They make me proud to be Texan.

Best band,,,,,by far the most difficult maneuvers of any band in the country.

holy shit, that was absolutely incredible!!!

I wish TV games would show the bands at halftime instead of the talking heads.

This band is awesome plain and simple

If you are a true bandsmen, you don't hate on other bands. Each band has their own style, and each band has something special about them in which to be proud. I'm just happy to see a college that participates in the half time show.

The half time show was totally awesome. We have never seen anything like it. I wanted to go back to school!!!! at Texas A&M!

OHIO STATE ! THE BEST DAMN BAND IN THE LAND! These A&Mers fall asleep at night wishing they were Buckeyes ! "We just want a football program that can do our band proud". NCAA Championship coach Jim Tressel. You have TAKE what's ours... we don't give it away.

Wow..!! Amazing!!! I would go to a football game just to watch this band perform... Saludo..!!!

Impressive!!! And I am a Pride of the Southland Marching Band fan (Tennessee). This was awesome!

Always proud to be a fellow Texan, I live in tenn now, they could not hold a candle to this troup. Hard work does pay off.

What a gem to find this! These people are the epitome of taking responsibility for their own behaviour!

I love the Aggie Band has it's own announcer for "play by play" :-) Always a great job. Their sound quality is fantastic.

I think they're both awesome in their own ways.

They sre great too. It's amassing how they can march like that and not get lost

No wonder they are world famous. Love it when bands play genuine marching music rather than some modern rock medley unsuitable for these instruments. This is great. And obviously have enthusiastic fans.

I am a UT alum and miss watching the AM band more than ever.
