"i do solemnly swear that i will support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic; that i will bear true faith and allegiance to the same; and that I will obey the orders of the President of the United States and the orders of the officers appointed over me, according to regulations and the Uniform Code of Military Justice. So help me God.”
every time you re-enlist you give this oath. i did this at the st louis arch my first time, in an aircraft over saudi my second time, on a flightline in spain my third time, and on the beach in guam my fourth time. but as a veteran my oath never expires.
Much respect fumesniff! Singing praises to our military and support staffs.
“I, ....., do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic; that I will bear true faith and allegiance to the same; that I take this obligation freely, without any mental reservation or purpose of evasion; and that I will well and faithfully discharge the duties of the office on which I am about to enter. So help me God.”
(I took the Civil Service Oath, following in the footsteps of my father, but he was a decorated WWII Veteran as well, and my daughter took the same oath in her service to the government.)
My daughter spent her 4 years in high school in the marching band, went to two colleges past high school graduation, played in both college's bands. That is a LOT of dedication to marching, maneuvering and simultaneous playing for these youth! And they are very serious about it.
Thank you for your service.
Thank you for your service!!!
There’s a High School band that you both would love. Port Chester High School, in Port Chester, NY. THIS BAND WAS IN MOVIES!
Marching bands are deadly serious in Texas. The high schools start practicing in July. They perform at every halftime, and after football season ends, competition marching season begins. Both of my daughters were band weenies and all three grandkids.
Thanks for watching them. I love the Aggies!
Thanks for highlighting the Aggies. Im a proud Mom of two Aggie Graduates and an Aggie son in law. But Mom and Dad met in the University of Houston cougars marching band. It is hard work . But the joy of a show coming together on the field with screaming fans is amazing. Im glad your enjoying the shows. Howdy from Texas. Still Married 34 years.
Marching bands are 2 different styles. Military or show. Ohio State ( in my opinion) is the greatest show band out there. Texas A&M is the best military band. 2 totally different ways of performing, both stellar and a joy to watch. Son in law and his family are all Aggies and he was a member of the corp for 2 years before moving.
Makes for truer competition. Not who did the same thing better.
JSU, The Sonic Boom of The South is the greatest show band, in my opinion.
@@ladyjallday5450I agree they have everything
@@ladyjallday5450over The Human Jukebox?! No way. Southern University all the way. I do like JSU, but I've got to go with my home team😊
They are seniors graduating & taking their oath to officially join U.S. military.
When I went thru MEPS back in 1991 and did my swearing in, I crossed my fingers at the part where they said I couldn't say anything bad about the Commander in Chief. Hey if I didn't vote for him, I shouldn't have to blindly smile and pretend I like him.
🔥🤟🇺🇸God bless Texas From Florida! God bless you Both!
They took the oath to join the military. They are graduating seniors. 11:44
It is a University, and those were the Seniors who were actually swearing into their services with that oath! Very special to all Americans. 🤠
I have watched them in person and as good as this is it doesn't compare to seeing it in person. Believe it or not, there is a big marching band culture in High School as well. They are fantastic, too. Also, the marching bands at black universities are not only fantastic but have a very different style. I hope you cover them p, too.
Blessings to you ~ karen
A little background…Texas A & M was Texas Agricultural and Mechanical… now abbreviated to A & M. Texas A&M remained a primarily all-male military institution with mandatory membership in the Cadet Corps until 1964, when the school began admitting women. In 1965 Corps membership became voluntary for students. The Corps first incorporated female members in the fall of 1974. And yes, those cadets were seniors and being sworn in to the military.
Look up a video of the Aggie band's most popular drill, the Four Way Cross. Marching band computer simulators say it cannot be done, but the Aggies do it every year.
Gig 'em Aggies! 👍 I may be wrong, but I believe the corp. of cadets are all in what is called the ROTC program. Reserve Officers' Training Corps is a program where students are helped financially by the US military branches, who also give them training as part of their college education. In exchange they are then enlisted as officers for a service commitment in the US military, upon their college graduation. I think that's how it works. Anyway, pretty sure that was them taking their oath to commitment for the military. The "A&M" in Texas A&M University stands for Agricultural and Mechanical. Rich history behind the school. That big "T" stands for "Troy" BTW
I recognize that second bit of music from the movie Patton.😊
Marching bands are so fascinating ❤
My grandfather went to Texas A&M when he was 16. His mother falsified his birth certificate so he could go as he had graduated high school early. When he graduated, he served in the U.S. Army in Brazil designing radio communications. He later worked for General Dynamics.
More to the point of the video, marching band is so much fun. There are two methods of marching: military and corps style. A& M does military. I have always marched corps (pronounced "core") style. It makes for a much smoother sound. For contrast, you should watch a University of North Texas Green Brigade halftime show. They have a TH-cam channel.
ROTC stands for Reserve Officer's Training Corps. Starts in high school, go through college and then enter active duty as Officers in US Navy, US Airforce, US Army, US Space Force and US Marines. The Coast Guard has similar program called College Student Pre-Commision.
Texas A & M is a Military college and the Seniors were graduating and now joining the Military.
Carol, Recky check out this one! Fantastic Fightin' Texas Aggie Band First Halftime Drill of 2019 it's older but much closer to the field. :)
I believe he said that they are Air Force ROTC (Reserve Officer Training Corps.) ROTC is available at many universities. The cadets are students who in addition to their normal studies, have classes in military related subjects. During summer breaks they spend some time with active duty units for further training. Most important it is a way to train those who will become officers without having to go to one of the military academies.
Hullabaloo, caneck, caneck!! GLAD to see you-guys watching this one!! :) They are SO FUN TO WATCH: LIVE!! Nothing like an Aggies Game!! ENJOY!!!
Those seniors are now our newest military officers.
Go big or not at all!
I'm a Texan through & through, but Ohio State has the best marching band.
If you like the band "Rush", this was a tribute to Neil Peart (greatest drummer of all time) after he died. You have to know them to understand everything (they have a song called YYZ, and one called "2112", Neil took time off to ride his motorcycle all over the place, etc.). th-cam.com/video/UTRluWPw08M/w-d-xo.html
If you have never heard Rush... th-cam.com/video/uJz049s4Pbg/w-d-xo.html You'll thank me! Of course it's my opinion but they're the greatest band ever & have so many epic songs. My favorite musicians with the best lyrics.
College football is awesome.
You need to watch The Ohio State University Marching Band & their Script Ohio. Then watch a halftime or more performance .. they are incredible too!!
I'm a graduate of the United States Air Force Academy, my son graduated from the United States Military Academy at West Point, and my son-in-law's brother from the United States Naval Academy at Annapolis. I have associations with a number of other long-established large universities. My point is, I am well acquainted with college traditions, the greatest of which is the annual Army-Navy football game every December. I have three daughters, and they all attended Texas A&M University in College Station, Texas. The two eldest are graduates, the youngest transferred and graduated from the University of Texas at San Antonio. There is no institution like Texas A&M in College Station, and it's not possible to explain why, it has to be experienced. Texas A&M is all about positivity. To give you just a taste, consider this--Aggies never lose--they may run out of time or may be outscored--but Aggies never, ever lose. Those in the video taking the oath are seniors in the Texas A&M Corps of Cadets that are graduating and are to be commissioned as officers in the various military services. Texas A&M is one of just a few universities that have Reserve Officer Training Corps (ROTC) for every military service. I have literally been around the world, I've been to the Church of the Holy Sepulcher, to Bethlehem, the Wailing Wall in Jerusalem, the Tomb of John the Baptist in the Umayyad Mosque in Damascus, I've stood on Mount Nebo looking over the entire Jordan River valley from the Sea of Galilee to the Dead Sea, to the Mausoleum of Salahadin, and many times at Arlington National Cemetery--and they were all deeply meaningful experiences. But, there's no experience like attending a home football game at Kyle Field in College Station, Texas--it's mind-blowing and life-altering.
I'm always blown away by the precision of marching bands. Wow.
Loved every second of it.. thanks both

Another tradition we have here on game day is the Cadets Calvary to Kyle Field Stadium through College Station, Texas.
ROTC Cadets.... are Reserve Officer Training Corps....they are our future officers in our armed forces.... Nothing beats a citizen army that freely fights and are committed to support and defense our constitution. Our national policy might not always be on point... but the love and dedication of our armed forces are unquestioned.
ROTC Is the Reserve Officer's Training Corps that you can sign up for in colleges and graduate as an officer.
It's kinda hard to imagine it when they're on the field like this, but there are over 400 of them!!!! 🤠
I did marching band in junior high and senior high. It's not as hard to do as you think. I even think Recky you could do it
Wow, what a couple! I have to join this communi..... oh yah, already did that long ago, and always love all the content! Love your reactions you two, especially to our americanisms and all music. Give the fur babies a scratch from Nebraska! Prace.❤😊
PS: If you two have never watched the film, "Patton" (with George C. Scott, ca. 1970) - you should!
Our high school marching bands also perform at half time at football games. They are awesome to watch.
A large part of the student body are members of the ROTC (Reserve Officers Training Corps). Upon graduation they enter the armed forces. Also the music at the 7 minute mark is the music theme from the movie Patton.
They are pronounced, Texas AG + EEs. Also hopefully you watch a Drum Corps International (DCI) performance on the channel. There are lots to pick from on TH-cam. The DCI kids are only 16 years old to 21 years old as its just a summer season between school years and not school related. It is also only brass and drums. It's a halftime show on steroids.
The name of the College is "Texas college of Agriculture and Mining" ..Texas A&M .. I is manly known as a military training institution ... the only the Seniors are allowed to ware knee high leather boots.
Those are ROTC cadets taking the oath to enter the United States Army as a second lieutenant.
Texas A&M is the largest public university in the USA.
My nephew just tried out for the marching band at my alma mater and made it although not for his preferred instrument (he plays various drums along with others). They chose him for cymbals so he'll get to show lots of personality while doing choreography. Hopefully, if one of the drum positions opens up, he can switch. My roommate in college played flute with the same band way back in the early 70s.
Congratulations to your nephew!
@@kateg7298 Thanks! He's been playing drums since forever and, now along with the freshman college experience, he can take his skills to a new level. He's excited.
Loved it!
Check out the Ohio State marching band!!!
I was in Pennsauken high School Marching Band in 1987.
Those are some cool musical ants down there. TEXAS! 🫡🇺🇸
Whoop!
Check out OSU MB Salute to Veterans
Almost every school seems to have a marching band. I was in one in Elementary School.
You should do some reactions to Kyoto Tachibana SHS Band from Japan or DCI (Drum Corps International).
Texas A&M is basically a military school, but you are not required to join the military.
Follow up recommendations for FTAB are Ol ' Miss game 2022 and LSU game 2023
Aggies are cool but a little crazy. It’s like a cult sometimes. 😆 Some wild stories come out of that school! Work hard, play hard!
Hi there! As an Aggie myself I thought I’d share a little. The A&M in Texas A&M originally stood for agricultural and mechanical. Aggie is short for agriculture. Since the university represented so much more in later days they dropped those names and now A&M doesn’t stand for anything. I hope this helps! Love y’all! Edited to add: for a polar opposite experience check out Grambling University of Louisiana.
You should check out. Ohio State University marching band.
My sister was in the marching band in high school. They had band practice the whole summer break!! 😊
Wow so fun 🤗
the cadets taking the oath were seniors who have decided to join the Military. and they took the oath to do so...the Cadets are not IN the military, but they are a military organization, think of it as an ROTC program. and if you notice the bad has different uniforms within the Cadet Corp. there are Army Brigade, Air Force/ Space Force Wing, Navy/Marine Regiment. The Band is made up of Cadets from any of the branches. the most noticeable are the Army Branch with there Cavalry Boots and riding pants.
SEC stands for South East Conference .
Am a Longhorn (The University of Texas) - Question: Why don't Aggies like M&M's? A: Because they are too hard to peel! LOL! A wonderful band of Aggie patriots (U.S. Army ROTC cadets)
love your show,and i like your reactions,but i have one request. could you make your screen a wee bigger ,i would appreciate it thank you
If you can, please visit College Station TX on an autumn A&M football game Saturday and watch a live performance of the Fightin' Texas Aggie Band on Kyle Field.
Truth be told, the Band is always a lot better than the football team.
They are the aggies it’s an agricultural school
Every person joing the US military takes that oath, and will honor that oath to their dying day, even after their service is over.

Texas. Greatest country in the world
I can't even walk and chew gum at the same time.
Funny thing is that it’s hard to understand the announcer even when you’re there because of the echo.
You need to see a Morgan state video to see how black schools do it
The Oath that Carol could not hear was the Oath that all members of the federal government take when we are hired/signed into service for our country. "I do solemnly swear to (or affirm) that I will support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic; that I will bear true faith and allegiance to the same; that I take this obligation freely, without any mental reservation or purpose of evasion; and that I will well and faithfully discharge the duties of the office on which I am about to enter. So help me God.” This is something that everyone who takes this oath, regardless of position is someone who truly loves our country and supports until we die. Take the oath once, you are bound by your love for your country forever. I only needed to say it once. My heart and my allegiance belong to my country. PS: I am not military, but I do work for a government agency that works to support our great American heroes.
I'm not sure if this is still true, but the USA was the first and may still be the only country where all public servants swear allegiance not to a person or office but to the idea of the Constitution.
They just joined the Army, Navy or Air Force.
It is pronounced like apple. Auggies
Ohio state stadium entrance
Was it my imagination, or did they deliberately omit all references to the Constitution of the United States in their oath ceremony?
Incredible amount of misinformation about the Aggie Band and the Corps of Cadets in the comments. I will address a few for those who are interested. Texas A&M has about 60,000 students, of which about 2,200 are in the Corps of Cadets (ROTC program). It was once an all-male, all-military style school. The band has about 320 - 380 members. As Cadets, they live a military lifestyle and must be in uniform when they go to class. They all take some military courses in their selected service. There is no military commitment and about 40% will be commissioned as officers into one of the military branches. Whatever branch they are in, their uniforms are the same except for patches on specific uniforms. In this video they are wearing "Alfas" so no branch info is shown. Seniors wear boots and riding-style pants. Each halftime show is unique for both home and away games. Oath-taking happens multiple times per year. This one took place at halftime, but that is not the norm and most were not seniors. The "T" is for Texas, not "Troy," as one commenter said. I have 3 kids who are and were in the Aggie Band, Class of '20, '25, and '26. It's an amazing organization and a challenging and unique way to go through college.
Awwww, that wasn't the good one with the cross of death...:(
Oh well, thanks for watching the Aggies regardless...and it's Aggie as in Agriculture. Ohio is great, but a little gimmicky in my opinion, this is more precision.
it's AAAAAAAAgies lol, not AWWWWWWgies lol
USmilitary swear oath to the continuation no a person
