I am currently deployed to Afghanistan, I am a Marine of 15 years, and I still get on you tube to watch my beloved Aggie football, and to get my Fighting Texas Aggie Band fix, GiG Em Aggies Classs of 2007!!!!!! WHOOOOOOOOP!!!! The songs bring back so many memories!!!!!!!!

I am a Canadian who went to Texas A & M and played for the Aggies as a defensive back. I was drafted by the Winnipeg Blue Bombers of the Canadian Football League because I was designated as a Canadian and not an "import". I played 6 games, returning an interception for a touchdown, and broke my ankle never to play again. I will never forget the kindness love and sportsmanship of the people there. Best marching band ever, and the Ballad of the Green Beret brings tears to my eyes. 'Aggies do not lie, cheat or steal nor tolerate those that do' God bless you all. Forever in my heart. From your friends and neighbours up north. We have your back!

I graduated from Special Warfare School at Ft. Bragg in 1967, days of Gobbler Woods and C-123 night jumps, does not matter how old I am now that song makes me feel forever young. God Bless SF and all the Mike Force guys I fought with, those living and those departed.

I am not an American, but I love this song, and have done so over so many years. A true tribute to the Green Berets. Bless you all for your service to your country......!

Just stumbled across this 15 years later. Can't believe I found a video of the Aggie Band with my buddies and I in it. It's a little blurry, but I'm in boots on the near side, first trumpet behind the sax section. And good ol Darius behind me. Good memories. Miss ya'll. Whoop C/O '08

This is absolutely the most fantastic marching band around. I will make a point and see them live at the next possible opportunity. Great effort of these young musicians..keep it going and stick with tradition and traditional music. Thanks Thanks Thanks....

Now that is a band! Fighting Texas Aggie band. Thank you. Your patriotism will not go unnoticed.

if any aggie band officials read this, please consider to make some top professional dvd's and cd's with the sound that this band deserves. how about cd's or dvd's such as " aggie band plays glenn miller, aggie band plays sousa, aggie band plays american marches.etc..and guys please market these products properly. thanks again for keeping the traditional spirit going.

The nationally famous Fight'n Texas Aggie Band. They are comprised of 303 members. The Texas A&M Corps of Cadets is the largest single source of reserve military officers outside the US military branches.

There truly is a spirit can n'er be told. I could watch this 2009 times. -FTAB '09

They are just magnificent.

Beautifully done . God Bless them all

Great to see a military style college band and one that uses traditional parade snare drums.

Sends chills down my spine at the might and power of the human spirit of Aggieland!

Never knew much about the Aggie band until I started watching them on KZfaq. I can honestly say I have watched dozens of University bands and these guys bar none are the best. Game day has to be really something special at A and M.

what real marching band is all about. Precision and solid instrumentation.

A Salute...From a 26 year "Band-Parent" and Retired Paratrooper! Untill I can see this in person...I have You-Tube!

One of the best looking marching bands in the country! Greetings from Utah

I'm Canadian and I love it too

If this doesn’t give you goosebumps, you are dead Most people don’t understand that Texas A&M developed more military officers for the second World War™ than anybody outside of the service academies

thank you Texas A&M marching band Brendan and Kevin Hannigan a man

I am a Sooner but get goose bumps when I hear the Aggie band fire up. You guys are the best out there hands down !! I will say gig 'em as my hatred for the shorthorns runs fathoms deep.

Excellent video!! We would love to be able to see this in person. Thank you for posting it.

🏆🏆🏆💪🇺🇲🇨🇱 Thank you for sharing

Thanks for the upload! This is the first time I’ve heard the Ballad of the Green Berets used by a marching band.

OUTSTANDING

and on the 8th day, god created the TEXAS A&M AGGIES, he looked down and said " I HAVE CREATED THEM AND DAMN THEY ARE AWSOME ! " THE ABSOLUTE FINEASTMILITARY MARCHING BAND IN THE WORLD ! WORLD FAMOUSE ! GIG EM !

“Give me an Army of West Point graduates, and I’ll win a battle. Give me a handful of Texas Aggies and I’ll win the damn War”. - General George S. Patton

Awesome!

...when I went to A&M it damn sure didn't look like that!!....it's really changed.

IMPRESSIVE!!

Went to 2017 Bell Bowl Football game in Charlotte, Wake Forest won over A&M in a high scoring game, but that A&M band was worth the admission.

Graduates from Texas A&M, The Citadel, West Point and VMI make up the heart of the Army's officer corps! Gen George Patton said: “Give me an Army of West Point graduates and I'll win a battle... Give me a handful of Texas Aggies and I'll win a war.” I'm biased, though. My son-in-law is a Texas A&M graduate and retired officer; My best friend from high school also graduated from A&M, was an Army officer and was seriously wounded in Viet Nam. GIG 'EM!

It is. The Aggie Band adds so much color and pageantry to game days that a popular Aggie saying is, "Aggies may lose on the field, but they've never lost a halftime."

I really do miss these days. Kyle Field looked a lot different back in 2000.

Texas has the really good marching bands

❤

Certainly wouldn't see this at all those Liberal Colleges. God Bless Texas!

I’m a Bubblehead still gives me chills

Impressive to say the least!

Best college marching band ever. Great drum majors.

Super 👌

to the aggie band what a show

GREATEST BAND IN ALL THE LAND

GIG ‘EM AGGIES!!!!!!

True blood of a PATRIOTS.

Someone asked why some are wearing boots and others not. I neoeve only Seniors are allowed to wear boots, spurs, and taps. Please correct me if I am mistaken.

I`m surprised that no one mentioned the song being played when the video first starts is from "Patton" ..Remember?!?

So i was with my sister there bc she goes to collage there and yhe reville bugle call woke me up at 5 in the morning

even the band is intimidating

Gig 'em, Aggies!

Mhhm Patton theme at the beginning

De Opresso Liber!

Can you imagine a college campus where even 1/100 of the graduating class could actually pass a personnel inspection; do the manual of arms; and, qualify with the military rifle? I don't know - it just seems wrong. If I could render that much service to my country so can they.

Holy Cow- did they demolish a few houses or a couple of building to build that ramp??

Are there any recordings of his being sung? I have a small box of these records along with a box of Auburn 45 rpm records if their fight song and know nothing about them.

What is the name of the first song ?

SEC SEC SEC

Big Joe Canoe!

I am disappointed in that the show from the rear of the band towards the end of the video, one of the aggie bass horn players (second from the right) was woefully out of step TSK, TSK In any event---- best marching band in US. GIG EM!!!

i bet an riot that the police is having a hard time dealing with would stop instantly if marched through

This is like from the scene of the Startrooper-movie. Very fasist-like, but not in a bad way.

More cowbell, less Sousaphone.

Sousaphone player back row, second from the right needs some marching practice.

I wish that Joe Biden could hear these drums marching on the White House, reminding him.."Don't mess with Texas "!

March on my brave Republican brothers!

No pajama boys allowed?🤔

Damn, now that's impressive - except for the fat tuba player on the far right at the end who can't seem to keep in step. Other than that, wow!

Oh Yea! Well the Ohio State band plays Micheal Jackson

are they stuck in 1918?

Problem is...who pays for it? It costs a lot to travel to away games.

This is a university that puts ups with #black lives matter or PC crap. I'm proud of my Alma Mater. '80 CE

Change the music and it reminds me of Hitler youth parades in 1930's Germany.

God bless my brother be safe

Awesome!

Gig 'em, Aggies!
