But we won halftime!

Winning half time is good with me.
Definitely a brag so fits right in here.

Bama, Georgia, LSU, Florida, Auburn....all SEC teams to win a national championship most recently for SEC.

....
None of them won halftime.

So, are you saying we will start winning natties if we start losing halfsies?
No, of course not.
It's pretty easy to understand that winning someting is better than winning nothing.

FTAB sets a standard which few other bands can match. It is a simply-uniformed but quite efficient military band with the familiar mass and sound that projects the A&M image very effectively and its genre of music matches that image: stable, traditional and disciplined.

Yeah sure, but I find them very vulnerable to a flank attack from the more guerillaesque stanford band, or even the rice mob.

Naw, we handled the mob so well in the 70's they were scared to come to Kyle Field for about a decade. When they did finally come back, they waited until the second quarter, slunk in, did their anti-tu show and slunk back to the buses to go home.

70's. don't remember the details. it's vague. they mocked your prophet? and y'all held them hostage at the airport? there was a rescue?

In reply to Texas velvet maestro The MOB got NAZIs and Aggies confused and found there was some active disapproval.

were they just busting your balls because corporal klink went after a smu cheerleader w a sword?



it was wild and wooly pre-80's, then along came a million lawyers.

In reply to Texas velvet maestro Years before that.

In reply to Texas velvet maestro Made fun of Silver Taps, of course their normal nazi related crap, etc.
Marvin Zindler was the featured twirler that day.
There were very few Rice students n the band back them, it was mostly made up of high school and junior high school students.
Game was over and most of the Aggie contingent was waiting at the campus end of 5he stadium- and not happy. They actually backed vans to the locker room, drove them to a dorm and backed the vans into the lobby and let them out. It was an hours long "siege".

Later the "Century Tree" may or may not have been chopped down and May or may not have ended up on the Bonfire that year- allegedly of course.

In reply to TXAGBQ76 who can blame them? junior high school girls should not be exposed to a thousand Aggie men hopping-mad.

My sister was in the Longhorn band in the mid-1960s and I saw the effects a marching band can have on a crowd. Kudos to Tech for understanding this as well with Spanish themed music. The ancient Romans certainly understood it as well.

Another video favorite,
although one might notice a single out of step butt at the end.

Ah, the 1960's, when the LHB played marches and did counter marches and other drills

Bumped because someone was asking how A&M is unique.
This, of course, is just part of the answer...
