This clip of the Texas A&M Band just made my day. Like someone else said, if this band did a Super Bowl halftime show it would be the best ever by far (maybe cut the lights and add some LEDs on each band member).

It’s just beautiful. It’s just so damn beautiful! God Bless America, God Bless Texas and God Bless TAMU. WHOOP 26’

Wow! 400 members! I never thought they could do anything with that many people. Great show.

Stunning precision! Greetings from Thailand.

THE MOST AWESOME GREAT TEXAS AGGIE MARCHING BAND GIGEM AGGIES !!

Went clear out there from VA to see them...very impressed!!

It's especially gratifying when KZread reactors from other countries react to US marching bands and drumlines. They are usually gobsmacked at the show they can put on.

I always cry when the band plays the Green Berets. First heard them play it in Kyle Field in the ‘66. ♥️ Great performance Aggies! Whoop!

Same here. The words go through my head and the mess that became Vietnam War. I think how horrid our soldiers were treated. How the liberals of Hollywood and the media honked on and on about the war. Sigh, how teenagers were lead astray by outside influencers, paid to break down our society . They have succeeded. 😢😢

Fantastic band performance and I don't usually watch but this band deserves the recognition. Great job.

Aggies never disappoint.

This band is legendary.

I was born in College Station. Love it. Absolutely flawless!!

Jaw dropping. Mind boggling. Stunning. Inspiring. Spine tingling.

The best of the best!👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻❤️

This is simply the absolute best college MARCHING band in the country, no other can do what they do,That be that exact and precise. NOBODY out of step,turns sharp as a cutlass.My dad is an Aggie.

Awesome

I am a big sports fan and have enjoyed many halftime band performances, but this was the best I have ever seen. Precision, difficulty, great sound - and I have never, ever seen lines of band members so perfectly straight - perfectly shoulder to shoulder beginning to end as this performance was. Big kudos to every member of the band, the director and support staff. It was simply one of the most amazing shows I have been a witness to in my 81 years!!!

I watched this entire clip from beginning to end. It was very satisfying to see and very impressive! Hoping we get to see this band go the Rose Parade in the near future. It will definitely wow the huge audiences there! Great job, Fightin’ Texas Aggie Band!!

A Marine DI would be Proud of that. Well done Aggies

AMAZING!!!!! Absolutely AMAZING!!!!!

I'm used to seeing marching bands moving in thins lines to form words or animals, but marching with thick lines, then doubling back on itself was wild. Very impressive. That had to be tough to learn at first, especially with over 320 members.

They actually step through each others legs. Doing what the computers say can't be done , 2 objects occupying the same space at the same time! They 😊truly are the spirit of Aggie Land. The Corps of Cadets, the soul!! TEXAS A&M University has become a huge school, but it remains a family. When I meet another Aggie it's like meeting a long lost brother or sister. We share certain beliefs and traditions unlike any other school. We are patriotic, but not blind to faults. We love God, Country, Family and School. The last two are basically the same. Whoop!!

I have never see them and this was one of the most wonderful things, the timing the Precision my father was in a marching band marching band and later the military don't know if he ever saw them but it would have been very proud two of watch this can only hope my surviving family down in Texas saw this was incredible thank you you make me proud to be an American

Incredible!! ❤

I’m not an Aggie fan until now, that was the most impressive marching I’ve ever seen, wow!

From a LSU Fighting Tiger fan, the Texas AM Band is so precise that no one can match them in marching or playing. These folks are simply the best period! Cannot wait for their show in Tiger Stadium this November and those who don't watch are missing out!

That would be debatable. They march a straight military style, no color guard, no silks, no drum feature. All 6-5 steps, same tempo, follow the leader drill, step 2 and step 4. Drum arrangements are from the 60's at best, music is traditional march music with no variety 2/4 or 4/4. You can love them for what they are but what they aren't is a modern marching band that plays much more challenging music and drill. It doesn't mean I don't like them, I like them a lot. They are a great band for this particular school and they are full of tradition. There's a lot to be said for that.

Wow! If the NFL gave a band like this an opportunity to plan and perform a Superbowl halftime show, they would not disappoint. This is a whole new level, and if any of the performers suffered a wardrobe malfunction like what happened in 2004 during the show, nobody would even notice.

I am 74 now! Was born in 1949. I remember it was normal to watch marching bands at many a college football game. Then came the future. Gone were the marching bands replaced with screaming dancing people jiggle long to awful non memorable music. Singers attempting to reach the highest note for the national anthem, with a strong wiggle at the end. That's not over yet, but until then this band made me cry with all of its nostalgia brought back to home! Please no more rock stars give us back the bands.

My son’s great uncle Lt. Col Joe T Haney created the Texas A&M Aggie band. We were lucky enough to walk in behind the band to watch a game. Both Joe and Mary were great hosts, we stayed in their home when we would drive from Ft. Worth to College Station.

That was amazing!

Go Aggies indeed! You are utterly amazing!!!!

Whenever I had a job applicant that had Marching Band experience, it always peeked my interest. Those who have been members of Marching Bands are eminently trainable, know how to cooperate with team mates for the greater good, and were highly disciplined, AND were used to difficult assignments! Oh, don't forget the part about competently playing a musical instrument during the entire march! It wasn't a perfect meter, but it was pretty darn close!

Always enjoyed the halftime show at the OSU-A&M game in Stillwater when both were in the B12

BEST band in the world!!!

My parents use to love the marching bands

Absolutely spectacular

They do a different show EVERY week. Usually a morning and evening practice on weekdays. So... 10-12 hours of *very focused* rehearsal time on the practice field and many more hours of music practice.
