My mom died Monday April 15, 2024 6;45 This was my mom's favorite song from A&M😢😢😢😢😢

I marched in the Battle of Flowers parade in 1960 when I was in JROTC at St Benedict's grammar school. It was quite an honor for us! Several of my friends and our son-in-law are A&M graduates. Our son-in-law in addition to being the Corp of Cadets was also played tackle and was a member of the Wrecking Crew. He is now and Army LTC. We are very proud of James and our daughter's good taste in men! My Grandfather was a Sergeant of Calvary in the United States Army in 1916. He always stressed that he was a Sergeant of Cavalry; not a just a sergeant!

Thank you for posting this. Seeing the Band is always a treat but the addition of the Mounted Calvary was truly great!

I just love that Aggie Band!

Yaaasss! My favorite marching band!!! The discipline and precision of this band made me fall in love with them.

Thanks for the video report! The FTAB looked and sounded sharp as ever, the RV's got it done, and the FDT looked small in comparison to its former glory years. Parson's Mounted Cavalry was splendid! Someone put a lot of $$ and effort behind the PMC. Whoop!

Aggie Band.....still undefeated at halftime.

Good Bull! Always a great opportunity to give good PR for Texas A&M. Thanks for the video. Nice job getting all of that in one take. Gig 'Em!

After the parade they stop at AGGIE PARK where the band is given lunch drinks etc sing a couple of songs and reloaded on buses to go home, we do this every year

🏆🏆🏆🙏🇺🇲🇨🇱 So very proud of these extraordinary young people. NO other band, civilian nor military has such precision and perfection. God bless them all and watch over them 👍♥️

I love A&M more than I love America. Class of 1978.

Alan Koemel Negative. Hawaii was a country too.

...If you like brass you gotta love the Texas A&M band ...

FTAB, I will always love it!!

Fantastic camera work.

Thanks for sharing...my son is pulling up the rear with the RV's...

Awesome video

Great job thanks

Had a post-doc offer at A&M some years ago, decided to go elsewhere. Nice video!

Probably THE best College marching band in the entire world...

No it’s USC

No mistaking that beat even before they come into view. Whoop! (me?... FDT class of '73)

There must be a lot of dust in the air because it is getting in my eyes.

Didn’t know the Parsons Calvary were so large, many, many, horses!

edward licence I think they have around 75 horses total.

WHOOP!!

The guy who wrote the Aggie War Hymn back in the trenches of WW1 performed it with a guy from my high school. That friend knew that we didn't have an official fight song yet, so he asked him if he could use it for our school's fight song, and said the 1920's version of "Totally, just go for it," and so now we do it too. We did speed it up a bit tho. Personally, I like my version better!.

dcentral there was a cleanup crew; just didn’t get them in the video. There was another group of horses right behind this group.

Nice. It's one of those big 12 things. I guess it's not much of a big 12 thing

What the hell is the Battle of the Flowers?

Battle of Flowers Parade is a huge parade during Fiesta in San Antonio. It’s been going on since 1891. Originally was to celebrate the heroes of the Battle of the Alamo, San Jacinto and Goliad. www.battleofflowers.org/about-us/history/

That’s it? Where the hell are the rest?

Mark Wolfshohl The camera doesn’t do justice for the number of cadets that were involved. There were over 600 in total. It doesn’t look like much on the screen, but there was a great showing by A&M.

The Drum major with the phone in his pocket is out of uniform

Those aren’t cadets in the white right

Stephanie Kainer they are all members of the Corps of Cadets as well. They are in a special group called the Ross volunteer company (RV for short). Juniors and seniors only. Three outfits. Approximately 140 cadets. Male and female.

Don’t you mean “cavalry?”

Fair parade, but can’t beat the Bailiwick of Jersey’s Battle of Flowers parade, 120 years old and still going strong.

When they want to the Americans can march
