Those of us who have marched behind the band for our 4 years (61-65) appreciate the dedication. As one Former Student mentioned in another video, when you hear the cadence of the drums, you take notice and the memories come flooding back. Even after almost 60 years after graduation, I still never tire of hearing and watching videos of the band. Of course for a lot of those years, it was audio only.
We heard in the background a woman say something like, "I don't know how many days and years I've sat right here watchin' this Band." Maybe she is carrying on for Miss Ruth of the College Station Holliday Inn, who devotedly comforted homesick, hazed Corps fish over a number of years -- and routinely attended Aggie Band drill practice on the Field behind Dorm 11, an enthusiastic spectator from the bleachers there. (Quick question: Is there ANY other college band in the world that draws such devotees to its performance rehearsals? [ahem.] )

Between all their school work, commitment to the Corps and yes all their duties of being a member of the FTAB they definitely have a full plate.
