The Fightin' Texas Aggie Band

"Now forming at the north end of Kyle Field..."

Band steps off onto Kyle Field When the Fightin' Texas Aggie Band steps off on the heavy beat of the Aggie War Hymn during half time of football games, Aggies respond with an emotional "Whoop!" The world's largest military marching band has "never lost a half-time."

Band performs at half time  

First Aggie Band, 1894 The Aggie Band was formed in 1894 coinciding with the first Aggie football game.
