The Corps of Cadets are the heart of Texas A&M University.
If you have never seen the Corps Fallout onto the Quad for a Home Game at Kyle Field or The Fightin' Texas Aggie Band Step Off, this video is for you!
You will see the Corps of Cadets entirely change the face of the campus in just 30 minutes. This amazing tradition will make you whoop!

The drills are getting more complex as the autumn unfolds -- the marching no longer consists of (mainly the fish) "following the guy ahead of you."
The Band's sound quality merits mention. For a long time awhile back, the Band was sort of thrown together each new Fall with kids who'd been in their high school marching bands. With diminishing Corps enrollment across the late 1960s and 1970s, the Band welcomed anyone who wanted to join. A boss of mine Band '63 (all Corps in those days) advised that when he went through registration, there was a question on a card asking if you played a musical instrument -- and if you did, you were automatically assigned to the Band. Boss said that this proved to be really shocking to guys who had come from other states who wanted to be engineers or veterinarians or such, and knew nothing at all about the Corps. Suddenly they found themselves in the Band, with everything (Oh my goodness!) that entails.
Now, auditioning is required before admission to the Band. And the musicians are stupendous, the quality of their sound is exemplary -- just back the video up, and listen to it again. We're talking studio excellence, even outside in the open air.
