    As someone who was in the Aggie band, the 4 way cross is quite literally organized chaos. There is specific ways you have to put your feet and move your body to keep from hitting other people. Practicing that moves does involve a lot of people falling down and getting popped. By by day 3 of practice everyone has it pretty much down. Really special being a part of that and seeing it all come together into a perfect show

    As a former Aggie Bandsman MANY years ago (Class of 1977) I can confirm for you that there is a great deal of work and sweat in putting together a drill like that (and, yes, on a crossthrough drill like this there are busted horns and busted lips - but it's worth it). Every member of the Aggie Band is a member of the Texas A&M Corps of Cadets and takes at least four semesters of ROTC Military Science classes. Many Aggie Band members go on to take commissions as officers in every branch of the armed forces.

    My brother was Aggie class of 82. My poor parents had 3 kids in 3 different colleges at the same time. They would visit one of us every week in a rotation, then have one week when they rested from all the travels. One at Texas A&M, one at SMU, and one at SFA.

    From A&M info site…. Requirements for being in the Aggie Band (hence the uniforms of “military style” you mentioned). “Membership in the Aggie Band requires full participation in all required activities of the Corps of Cadets in addition to those required by the Aggie Band.”

    Next to the three military schools, Texas A&M produces more military officers then any other school in the US. Back in the day, before it became a university, it was called, Texas A&M College, which stood for Agricultural and Military College. You may not have heard the guy when he said, “the nationally famous Fightin Texas Aggie Band “! If you care to check you will see they are the #1 college marching band in the nation.

      @@hennagaijin100 Yes, VMI is considered one of the six senior military colleges, but it does not produce nearly as much military officers as Texas A&M does. VMI has less students than Texas A&M has in the corps of cadets. I’m in no means trying to diss VMI, because I got a few friends who go there.

They played very softly and sort of just wandered around the field. I say huge sheet.....they only have a handfull of students in the band.

      Depending upon what instrument they play, they remove it from their mouth while going through the cross. There is a video out there from a few years ago with a zoom on the center part, and a woman on the outside row falls down. She quickly gets up, has to go a few steps to retrieve her hat and then gets back into her spot.

    • @mlawson2979

      Never heard of anything broken from the performance or practice from musical instruments… but lived in dorm overlooking their practice field and one year saw the new drum majors practicing and saw the main guy wack another one upside the head. As in the beginning of the routine you see, they spin their baton as they raise it. Takes some practice to spin it parallel to your body and not outwards it seems. Anyway, he wacked the other guy a couple times in a row as they were passing each other. It was brutal.
