As an Aggie, it is always nice to see other people enjoy the Fightin' Texas Aggie Band. It's not a style of marching that a lot of people are used to seeing. I would also like to congratulate you on having such an incredible atmosphere around LSU. Absolutely fantastic.
As an Aggie Grad myself, I am glad you had fun watching the band! they always give me chills because of how well they play! I also have to admit LSU Tiger stadium is a fun venue for an away game
I went to high school in College Station and worked the home games at Kyle Field before joining the Marines, spending some time at 4MARDIV in New Orleans and going to my first LSU game. I come from both sides of this game, and one thing I have always felt Aggies did better than anyone else in the country was their band. They're the best in the country and there's no doubt. That said, a football game on Saturday night in Baton Rouge opened my eyes to what college football was really about! GEAUX TIGAHS!
Thanks for the great video! My son is in his sophomore year in the band...he enjoyed playing there this year. See yall next year in College Station and good luck in the playoffs!!
Our family honestly thought my cousin would go on to play in the band at A&M but when he looked into it, they have a very strict regime even to try out from high school levels. He met the requirements but didn’t want to take on too much. He’s much happier watching from the stands even though he does miss it now that he’s settled in as a sophomore.
I went to LSU (1968 Pete Maravich days) and a big LSU fan and I’m embarrassed that the LSU football players stood at the goalpost interrupting the Aggie band drum major and then ran on to the field when the Aggie band was playing and marching only feet away. How rude! The band stays off the field when the team plays, so players stay off the field when the band plays.
What IS the scheme/intent/strategy for selecting a team entrance tune which is laced with profanity plus numerous racial slurs? Or was this just an oversight? Should A&M consider putting this one out to pasture? Or?
Please explain how a purely instrumental performance could POSSIBLY be "laced with profanity plus numerous racial slurs." Pro tip: Being offended by everything is NOT a skill, it's a mental disorder.
@@colormedubious4747 The song "Power" (@Texas A&M Univ.) is played as the football team entrance piece just prior to kick-off for the AGGIES at Kyle Field. Some are claiming.."yeah, it's racially slurred and profane, but we don't sing the lyrics"- "It's just an instrumental". Others, "We play the clean version"....do what? If not for those horrendous lyrics, this song never would have existed. I suppose a posted/announced disclaimer at Kyle Field is in order? It's saddening and confusing the lengths some people will take to try and justify the existence of something that reflects so poorly on TX A&M. One of the chief obstacles is the fact that so few Aggies are even aware of the lyrics. That will change. What if the song contained lyrics promoting cop killing? Or encouraged the resumption of slavery? Or the abuse of children? The dissemination of AR15's? Would an "instrumental version" remain acceptable and appropriate knowing full well what those lyrics are? Are there any lines that can't be crossed today? Based on the former OU coach who recently resigned and the backlash created by the spectator at a BYU volleyball game, the data suggests there are. Some things are just not acceptable. Others have suggested it's OK for a person of color to use these shameful and hurtful slurs and others can't...is this not racist in itself? Think long and hard about that one. That's a confusing and dangerous road to take. It's not OK. Learning to respect yourself might make respecting others an easier choice. I wonder what Dr. King's thoughts would be on this notion? Regardless, the extreme profanity in the song's lyrics should make the decision an easy one. The selection of such a crude song is very perplexing. At best. It's tradition now, but does that make it any less toxic and inappropriate? Google the lyrics...you'll be shocked. A state supported institution no less... One that prides itself on producing leaders.. Are $$$ and wins the priority here over common decency? Our core values.....are some departments exempt perhaps? Need to walk the talk IMO. Would there be any negative consequences if another song, lyrically devoid of racial slurs and profanity was chosen as a replacement? A&M has an optimal opportunity here at becoming part of the answer, not the problem. Our team and fans deserve better. Gigem Show less
What was the score when this took place? Something like 31-0? FTAB representing The Great State of Texas which is superior to Louisiana in almost every measurable way. We're going to beat you ALL to chiga riga rem one day.

Can’t no body deny the Aggie Band.
Aggies may not win every football game but we sure as hell always win halftime.
So true!!! 💗💗💗
Discipline at it's best with perfect precision and everybody loves a great band including me from Wollongong Australia.

Thank you so much!!! This was such a great night!!! 💗💗💗
Thank you, ma’am. I was in the band in the 2000’s and we really appreciate hearing comments like yours. :)

Awesome, glad you enjoyed the video! ♥️ They gave me chills too!
One band that CAN NEVER be duplicated
I always wanted to see a TAMU vs Ohio State contest. Four way cross vs Script Ohio. Maybe even a good football game might break out.
I graduated from TAMU. I hope every single college band in the country always remains part of college football.

Every halftime drill is new for every game they perform.

Thanks so much!!! We appreciate it! ♥️
I'm an Tamu fan for life and I was in a house where half were Aggies and half were Longhorns. So I called them The House Of HOAGGIES. LOL
Glad that people respect the band. It is a big part of the aggie traditions. Even if the other aggies were whopped in football...
As a old CT I respect the BQ’s.

Awesome Whit!!! I bet he was so amazing!!! They were sooo good tonight! ♥️♥️♥️

Thanks Joe!!! 😘😘😘
Great vid, love to see our FTAB. LSU fans are always welcome down here in College Station. Even if we dont win lol. Gig 'em Aggies and Geaux Tigers!
Really have No hate for LSU fans. Another reason I love being an Ag in the SEC! We all show respect for each other when its due. 👍
Why we ALWAYS WIN Halftime!!!!! WHOOP '81

That is some great cgi

May have lost the game but we won halftime! lol
