They are parading by the Tarrant County courthouse. My first exposure to the Band/Corps was during their TCU Fort Worth Corps trips early when I was in grade school. They marched south from the courthouse down Main Street, which was all brick in those days, and you really could hear the taps on their heels. (A blind couple, for years in those days, camped on the sidewalk by Leonard's Department Store, peddling pencils and singing. Even as the Aggie Band thundered past on the street, they kept singing.) Childhood imprint: I was astonished, more than a decade later, to understand that "Hot Time in the Old Town Tonight" did NOT originate with the Aggie War Hymn. P.S. I was in my late 20s before I realized that people were ending prayers with "Amen" -- and not "A&M."
Yup, Hot Time in the Old Town Tonight was a popular minstrel song back in the day they decided to tack on. Fun fact: The Kansas Jayhawks band plays it when their team scores as well, albeit a much slower rendition.
Absolutely beautiful, they did a great job at "Green beret".
Just wonderful

Does anybody know why they didn't carry the Colors?
