- The fantastic Fightin' Texas Aggie Band performs its first halftime drill of the 2019 season. This marching band is awesome! The Aggie football team defeated Texas State. This happened on August 29, 2019.
I am an Aussie, Ex Army, love a good parade. But this, OMG, is the best parade I have ever seen. Rock my freakin socks off man. And the gold medal goes to... The Fantastic Fightin Texas Aggie Band. Just brilliant.
ick dtl^^ unmöglich unseren sowas beizubringen^^
Как же это ЗДОРОВО!!!
Развлекуха ни о чем! Чем-то надо армию занять между войнами по всему миру- такие миробивые американские войска- просто голуби мира... Марш пидерастов!
Je reste sans voix c'est magnifique 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
Круто!
Endless weeks of practice and only 7 minutes to shine, they ended up illuminating the entire stadium..🙌🏻
HERE is The Savior
HalleluYAH translates “Praise ye YaH”
YaH is The Heavenly Father
YaH arrives via the TENT OF MEETING
YaH was Who they Crucified for our sins
** NO FEMALE INVOLVED WHATSOEVER **
- Hebrew Book of Isaiah
Isaiah 42:8
"I am YaH; that is my Name! I will not yield my glory to another or my praise to idols.
Isaiah 43:11
I, I am YAH, and there is no other Savior but Me.
Isaiah 45:5
I am YaH, and there is none else.
I would rather watch this over a rock concert at half time any day.
Me, too.
Me too .
You bet!!!
Turn it off then
Me too
Absolutely perfect! THIS is what EVERY football halftime show should be. All the way to the Superbowl.
Amen!
Now that you mention it they should be able to play at the super bowl this year!
Gig Em Aggies 💫
Absolutely fantastic
If you want the crowd falling asleep or going to the concession stand then sure
This is just ridiculously phenomenal!!!! How how how! Such precision while playing instruments😳😳. Congrats to the choreographer and the participants themselves 👏👏👏👏👏
I hope our Egyptian Military Band could do the same as well by year 2099.
Love from Egypt.
From an Aggie Bass player. How, you ask? Easy answer.
DISCIPLINE!!!
Practicing about 40 hours per week helps.
@@lesmowhomever174 Nope. 1 hour per day.
@@Bullzeye1000yds I read different report and thought it was excessive. Another said about 7-10 hrs weekly Monday-Friday. With computer printouts it is much easier than the pre computer era.
I was in a marching band in high school. Let me tell you this is no easy feat. Lots and lots of practice in those formations. Hats off to the mighty A&M band.
Bet you do anything like this though.
@@judithompson3243 not even close. My stint in the band was in the late 60's.
I was in high school marching band (Pasadena High School) 1975-1979 and then in college from 1979 to 1983...and you are right, this takes WAY more hours just to learn the marching let alone the rehearsals on the music and the private lessons and practicing of each of the individual students. I miss all of it, but I'm so glad I did it and that it gives me an appreciation for something as spectacular as this!
But what is it worth?
@@wheeningschnitzel its worth:
for the one doing it dedication hardwork consistency and some much more including learning music and be part of a team the list can go on for ever to end up to one simple thing...be happy and proud of what you love doing.
Its worth for the one listening:
The compassion of hard working individual, some kid might even be influenced and by doing so he build his own character . For some they love the music and other the view it gives to see synchronized move.
At all end up to appreciation.
If you think that you can put worth on a ⚖ your life must be sad .
To you K.W doing a McDonald's preview is worth lot of money but to me its a waste of time .
See worth is only worthy from the eye of the one looking at it .
We call that life and freedom of choice .
See one thing is worth so much more than you think even if you think its not worth it.
Absolutely phenomenal! There are no words. What a brilliant performance
Is actually not as intricate as high school performances bc high school prepares it for like 5-6 months and college practices a show for a few weeks

I was lucky enough to be in a special HS band. Performed in Cotton Bowl parade and halftime show in 1973. We had a national record of 19 straight years of Sweepstakes awards, it grew to 34 years before a group messed up and earned only a second division rating in sight reading. For a band to earn a Sweepstakes, they must earn a first division rating in Marching. A first division rating in sight reading and a first division rating in Concert performance. My band did this for 34 years!! We've been invited to perform in every national parade and professional sports venue. Our choir had a command performance before Queen Elizabeth II, the year after our Rose Bowl invitation and Cotton Bowl performance. We were only a 3A size school small, but mighty. We practiced 10 to 15 hours a week, we performed new halftime shows each week. We had only 3 months to perfect our Concert performance. We won every type of competition we entered even against the 5A HS in Houston and Dallas. But it took dedication, practice and love of music and our band mates.❤❤❤
Proud Aggie Band Mom here! They always surprised us with their “unique” formations! This was no different!😁
My daughter just started her freshman year (high school) first marching band experience. She loves it and I'm super excited to be a band parent. This video is extremely inspiring!!
I have never seen anything like this... NEVER EVER EVER.. ABSOLUTELY SPELLBINDING... AWESOME... THANK YOU 👍👍👍🇺🇸May Rose🙋🌹3-9-22GA USA. My...My...Texas!!!
Having done plenty of parade drills in my time in the "Pipes and Drums" band in the Army.., this is the best routine I think I have ever seen by such a large group. Awesome.
What about the North Koreans?
You mean "Beat and Blow"?
Aggies are awesome but I prefer Ohio State and a few others.
@@themarbleking Pathetic
This is their first drill of the year too. They get harder as the season goes on.
After spending 31+ years in the US Army, one can't help but to appreciate the precision and formation excellence of this Aggie band. I've never seen the reverse-your-course maneuver done so many times and looked so good as this band did during their halftime performance. Well Done Aggie Band!
It makes me feel proud as an American. These kids are doing something really great for their audience.
Watched the phenomenal Texas Aggie Band many times in late 1980. This brought back wonderful memories of those weekends at the football games I hardly understood. But the halftime -- IT was the show! Go Aggies!!!
I first saw this band more than sixty years ago. It took my breath away and still raises the hair on my neck. It has its own unique style, not matched or copied. It is all class.
Грандиозная работа! Как авторов, так и исполнителей.
Every single member is Personification and embodiment of Discipline and hardwork !!
Beyond impressive!
I always get goose bumps every time they come on the field! And the tears pour like a baby!
Absolutely Fantastic Much Respect. 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
Having watched my brother practice for 4 years during the summer and after school for 4 years for their performances makes me appreciate all the band members hard work.
All that work to look ordinary, North Korea does it better.
My brother went there in 1988-92, and was in the superb Corp of Cadets. I recall the excellent band and to this day absolutely love watching them. The spirit of the crowd is amazing and no one leaves at halftime seriously! Now my daughter goes there and my nephew. Yay.
as a brit i have grown up watching british military bands, but have found this staggering ,mesmerising, respect to all involved
Never never never have I seen such a perfect synchronization of so many in a marching band!! Perfection
one of the most amazing things i have ever seen. GOD bless Texas
In my 65 years i have NEVER seen such PERFECTION .... just love it 😍😍😍😍😍
I was HOOKED. Truly amazing precision. Well well well done guys.❤
I have a lot of fun watching the A&M Band! The camaraderie, the precision moves and formations are off the charts! I can definitely see why Aggie fans are so proud of their band; they are an institution in and of themselves!!👏👏😊💯❗❗
Bravissimi!
Poetry in motion; lots and lots of hard work. Never get tired of watching this
Maggie S - This is mind boggling - They should be at the Edinburgh Military Tattoo.
When watched 2020 - it didn't seem to happen the same day as the game - just as brilliant.
True team work. May you stay well & safe in these slightly chaotic times. Rgds New Zealand
My late husband marched in high school too. He told me blowing that trumpet, counting your steps, making sure that stride was in sink with everyone else wasn’t easy. That was a P.E. credit that was well earned!
I was in the Australian Army for 2 years and when we were learning to do our parade marches is was hard getting the timeing right and finally getting it so we were all working together took weeks. It was nothing compared to this though. Watching this brought tears to my eyes. This must have taken months to get right. Very impressive. Never been to an American baseball game or football game but this would be amazing to watch live. Fantastic!
Please come visit us!
@@Oceangirl_505 ur countrys gone to shit no one should visit u
definitely better than their football games.
When I went to A&M I only went to games to see the band. Didn't care about sports.
I absolutely love the American marching bands no country can hold a candle to these bands. The best, most entertaining marching bands in the world. Amazing. Tremendous. Superb.
What about North Korea? They do it with thousands of people! Even their children do it better than these clodhoppers. This is something military dictatorships practice. You know? Simple things for simple people.
I so loved the way they changed the designs. Amazing.
This is sssooooo enjoyable to watch!!! I must say one of the best if not the best band I've ever seen, It was delightful
That crowd, how the Aggies love their own. Pretty epic.
БРАВО !!!!! молодцы ! спасибо за удовольствие от просмотра такого зрелища 👋👋👋👋👋💥👍👍👍
Amazingly beautiful, my first time in my whole life to witness an awesome parade ! Excellent !
Шедеврально!!! Браво режиссерам и исполнителям! 👏🌈🌏😇💗🤗🙏
The crowd! The precision! Wow, I've never seen anything like that. Texas pride!
Over the moon, as some say.
North Korea does it better. Military parades are hot garbage.
@@themarbleking: North Korea does it better? Which university in North Korea are you referring to?
That is the most coordination I've ever seen in my entire life it was like 50 years of humanity wrapped up in the halftime show
Try China or North Korea..
Do you believe there's an afterlife? What do you think what happens when you die?
Are you a good person? Let's put that to test through some of the 10 commandments: Have you ever lied? (Even a white lie) Have you stolen anything irrespective of it's value? (music downloaded illegally off the internet, a pencil, etc.) Have you taken God's name in vain? (Example, Om-g, Or saying the name Jesus when you hit your foot on accident, etc) Have you ever looked at someone with lust? (Jesus says if you even look at a women or man with lust, you've committed adultery with them in your heart)
If you've broken even one of the commandments, (And there's more than just 10 if you read the new testament) you're guilty of all.
James 2:10
[10]For whoever shall keep the whole law, and yet stumble in one point, he is guilty of all.
So if you die today, God is rightly justified in sending you to hell. But God takes no delight in the death of the wicked, but rather that they turn and live.
Now what did God do for sinners that we wouldn't have to go to hell?
He sent His only begotten Son to die for our sins.
So Jesus (God manifested in the flesh) came down and dwelt among us to be a sinless sacrifice for our sins.
Leviticus 17:11
[11]For the life of the flesh is in the blood, and I have given it to you upon the altar to make atonement for your souls; for it is the blood that makes atonement for the soul.’
So there's two things you must do to be saved. You must repent and put your faith in Jesus.
When you repent, you don't just simply confess (Especially to a priest... Catholics aren't Christian)
But when you repent, you must express sorrow and great remorse and regret over your sins because your sins have offended a holy God. And after you've don't that you must COMMIT to not sin ever again because it offends God and because God gives you the strength to overcome. So don't wallow in your sin.
And when you put your faith in Jesus, put your faith in Him as you would in a parachute.
And after you do this you will pass from death to life and you will be granted forgiveness and mercy from God and He will replace your heart of stone with a heart of flesh with new desires and you will then love to do that which is righteous rather than desire sin that is only pleasurable for a season.
Thanks and God bless you whoever sincerely reads this with a humble heart. If you need prayer, give me your name and let me know whatever you may be dealing with and I'll pray for you.
Maybe we should let Texas run this country for a bit, see how it goes.....
Omg, that's freakin' amazing!!!
I can only imagine how many arduous hours of practice it took to do that so perfectly!!!
Parents be PROUD!!!
I have never seen anything so AWESOME! And I'm an 80 year old Veteran.
Офигеть, это ничего не сказать. Дрессура на 1000% оправдала себя. Тяжёлый труд. Браво, молодцы, фантастика.
Как раз таки дрессурой такого не добиться. Здесь любовь к своему делу и профессионализм. Дрессура - это когда всю роту наказывают за то, что кто-то ногу не поднял. И вот она как раз и не приносит результат.
Mind BLOWN! I was a high-school bank kid but we never had marching band. I can only imagine the preparation that went into this! AMAZING!!!!!
What a wonderful rhythm! What work and what commitment! What contagious enthusiasm! The crowd and its soldiers are like a big heart beating before my eyes. Completely admiring 😍
😘From Paris👏
I'm from Paris too! Paris, TN.
@@denicesanders4586 ,
Oh, I was hoping you were going to say Paris, TX, but that's okay. We'll allow all kinds of foreigners to appreciate our Aggies. 😉
They aren't soldiers. Not yet anyway. They are part of the Texas A&M Corps of Cadets which undergo ROTC training while at the university. Many will go on to become officers in the US military after graduation.
In a time when so many bands do cutsie pictures and formations the Aggie band still does it right. Always nice to watch.
As a mom of two “band geeks,” this was phenomenal! Brilliantly executed. Can’t wait to send this to the kids!
True athletes too. You have to be fit.
I NEVER get tired of watching the Aggie Band perform. That is procession and I have not seen another college band achieve such excellence (excluding the military academies).
This is the BEST performance I’ve ever seen from any marching band or drum corps
Actually, this performance is rather tame. They'll be much advanced by the end of the season.
Mind-blowing precision. That was incredible.
I'm an LSU group. THE AGGIE half time always got standing ovations . Since1961
That was the most amazing marching band I have ever seen, they nailed it. Outstanding marching band it was beautiful I loved it .
My son's first performance! They all looked great!
Good for you! I myself want to join too someday. Cant wait!
Susan Young They did! How nice for your son to be part a great marching band! I wish him the best of college experiences! 🥁🎺🎷
A great performance. Halftime IS gametime.
I have to disagree. I dont think they looked good. I think they looked AMAZING 💖. It's no wonder you're a proud parent! Well done to them all!!!😁
I wish we had entertainment like this at our games!!
Dazzling, be proud👍
Nothing better than this band. Rich traditions. WHOOP!
Amazing precision and timing on a grand scale - I loved every second of this fantastic display. Having said that I’ve only been seasick once in my life and one of their manoeuvres had my tummy feeling a bit queasy. I’m putting that down to the seamless and smooth flow from one formation to another. I think us folks watching this video had the experience due to us looking down on the action. I’m guessing there probably were giant screens around the stadium to give the spectators a better view of the amazing choreography taking place in front of them.
Reminds me of days marching in the band at Drake University in the 70's. We had a phenomenal leader! Thanks for the memories of not only marching at Drake, but a Vikings game, a Green Bay game and the college pecan bowl game at Witchita Falls, texas!
In my 55 years of watching The Fighting Texas Aggie Band I have never witnessed a better performance. This put a tear in my eye and a lump in my throat. Thanks from a huge fan that happens to be a Horned Frog.
Wonderful. I wish the television companies would allow us to see the bands like they used to .
Yes
Many folks prefer halftime highlights and watching sports announcing jocks talking about what the teams should do in the second half.
It’s all about that corporate commercial sponsorship money
Stan Watkins The halftime shows were the only part I was interested in and until they get straightened out about how to respect our country and our flag I don’t give a hoot about football players. The place that gives them the opportunity to make tons of money and they hate it. It’s just not right.
This is why I stopped watching all televised football games. None of the traditions left.
Bravo. The best well thought out halftime.. Magnificent!!!
awsome! Crazy work: choregraphy and playeur! Wonderful!
Шикарное выступление, молодцы.
I’ve seen them live in person many times and just seeing them on video like this still gives me goosebumps their so incredible 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
This took absolute dedication, and hard work. Great to watch over, and over!👍🏻🏴🇨🇦
Simply phenomenal! The crowd of Aggie cheers supporting these amazing talented fighting Aggies is electric!
Outstanding sincronzation beautifully orchestrated A&M never disappoints!
Gig Em Aggies! 🏈💕👣💫 Shining Stars of our God's goodness are you all bonafide team spirit personified yeah everybody!
This is truly a brilliant and very touching performance thoroughly enjoyed!! Imagine a world focused on beauty in all its forms, especially kindness without a hint of physical or mental aggression against any being. Just a heart warming thought.
Mastery.... never have I seen better precision....quality sound- expert! Love halftime shows and competitive field demonstrations as our fall favorite pastime!
I love watching the different marching traditions from around college sports.
Me too.
Magnifique, alignement parfait, aucune erreur, les américains m'impressionneront toujours...
Best college marching band of all time. Enough said.
I lived close to my high school growing up and would hear them every autumn, practicing in the afternoons. Love seeing this great display.
Запомнить бы куда идти, а они при этом ещё и играют. Браво. Замечательное зрелище.
В дупу их поцелуй, своих хозяев.
@@bassbarabass3805 Нацистик, ты чего такой злой?
Take me back to my school years, watching the marching band practice....good old days, good old 80s ❣😁
This band is insane, sick, crazy and the super best of all bands in America! Who could be this band?? 😳!
SO PROUD OF THESE AGGIES!!! One of them is my nephew, and I just cry every time I see the band perform knowing he’s a part of the greatest marching band ever!!!
Laura Marceleno-foreman What a nice Aunt you are ! 😀
Schön, Perfekt
Love this band! At the very end of this video -when the second to the last band member (leaving the field) waits on the last band member - my heart just smiled! The comradery of this band is beautiful.
Exactly the comment I wanted to make as well!
Good observation. Those sousaphone players have to stick together.
Yea, that was great. A fellow Tuba player’s version of ‘No man left behind’.
Очень впечатлило,это же адский труд,чтобы так синхронно и красиво в итоге получилось.Огромное спасибо!!!
Mind blown. Everything about this was perfect. So good.
A&M has a spirit I’ve not seen on any other campus!! And the band is outstanding! The straightest lines, sharp turns and spot on with the music!! Miss not going to any. My husband was an Aggie and made me a Aggie want to be.
There’s a spirit can ne’er be told 👍🏼
What Class?
Corps or Non-reg?
This was by far better then any NFL Superbowl halftime show
Gig em
Bring back taste and morals
Amen to that!
Jon Armstrong Bet you stand up when they play! Great video!
@@chaist94 Thanks Chris but I knew that. Was wondering about the people in the crowd though.
Brilliant. Amazing. Absolute perfection.
Mesmerising! I couldn't look away. Smooth, fluid precision n all the while they continued playing perfectly. (And to think, I saw this by chance.)
Respect👏👏👏 fantastic performance 🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧
Aggie here. The saying is “our band can beat up your football team”. Glad everyone love this!
Aggies always win halftime.
@@2oclockcoffee your not wrong one bit gig em
I could watch this band all day. Perfection in large proportions
The Fightin' Texas Aggie Band can do this because each member is very dedicated. They are attending University, a US Armed Forces Reserve Officer Training Corps program, and periodic band practice (on field and in chambers) concurrently.
The Corps are all housed in several dormitories in a section of the main Texas A&M University campus known as "The Quad".
My understanding is that many of the A&M graduates from the Corps accept commissions from the US Armed Forces after graduation, usually qualifying to enter service as junior officers following basic training.
In the video shown, those band members marching in riding boots are seniors (4th+ year of University). You will note that these senior band members are placed at the outside edges to help guide the band with their experience and as visual cover for missteps that may occur with less experienced members inside the formations.
Make special note of how those members who march with bass drum or tuba do unusual turns by bending way over. Sometimes it seems weird, but it aides in avoiding collisions (or gives a visual flair ... tuba players are their own brand of cutups). Many of the musicians have to lower their instruments during tight maneuvers and rejoin the flow of music immediately after the turn. The band manages to do this without substantial loss of volume.
This video shows the band playing the Texas A&M fight song at the beginning and end of the exhibition. They are also famous for playing the march that we know colloquially as the theme to the movie "Patton".
Having kids in the high school band and living next door to the high school the hours of practice that goes into band marching is crazy. They practice everyday including weekend and summer. I cant imagine the hours that were put into this. We have a battle of the bands yearly between state schools it's amazing when your right there watching and listening. This must be phenomenal.
👏👏👏👏🌷🌷🇦🇷
Hello from England, the complexity of the marching and playing musical instruments at the same time boggles my mind, I'm worn out I need to lie down, that was amazing to watch, well done to everyone.
Juste un mot, Magnifique!
Ils sont tres bons ,un regal pour les yeux et les oreilles quel boulot de repetitions encore bravo
C'est très impressionnant, bravo et merci à ces personnes de nous proposer un tel spectacle, j’imagine que derrière tout ça il y’a beaucoup de travail et d’efforts.
One of the things Texas does spectacularly well.
Love from Australia
Those drum majors’ hearts all beat at 108 BMP. Have always loved the Aggie countermarch!
The BEST! NO ONE COMES CLOSE TO THIS MARCHING BAND!
The very first time I saw the Fightin' Texas Aggie Band was a few years ago when they came to Auburn University for the game. I have never in my life been impressed by a halftime band until then. I have bragged on them ever since then to all that will hear it. I now look forward to the game when TAMU comes to town. Keep up the good work, and continue to be proud of what you have. War Eagle and Gig 'em!
all they do is march back and forth....any high school band can do that
Jud Powell they had somebody write a computer program to help them create new ways to march because they thought marching like this was damn near impossible. So no not any high school band can do that.
d_rob8612 come down to Kyle Field. We would love to have you. I promise you will be taken care of. 👍
me too, from Thailand
You have to see them live to understand. No other way does them justice. 👍
Fascinating to watch, what a great coordination ! Impeccable timing, impressive.
Kudos to the coach's... one of the most brilliant things I've ever seen in my life!
Вот это ---- по человечески : тысяча человек вместе и едино доставляют радость 20 тысячам !
There’s more kids in that band than there was in my school, you Americans go big all the time 😃👍🏻
North Korea does bigger and better ones with thousands of people. It is the mark of a military dictatorship. One step away from giving a ticker tape parade to Tanks and missiles.
came across the "aggies" by mistake but glad I did! I'm English born and bred, but appreciate marching bands - kudos to whoever choreographs the "aggies" routines, a huge BRAVO from UK 👍👍👍!!!
this is what skill, dedication and hard work looks like
Absolutely amazing! Such precision and coordination. Kudos to them all and especially to the choreographer.
From Roll Tide Land - big ups for a visually stunning show! I haven't stopped to watch a band in decades, but this was well worth it!
