Noticed they were at the Ole Miss game. Didn't see them at Auburn or Miss State. I've been to every A&M home game this year. Great band, it is a shame that the the other fans aren't getting a chance to see them.

Goin to two games this year. Ole miss and Alabama. It's obscenely expensive to move all that band equipment.

If I'm not mistaken, SEC bands usually always travel. Hopefully A&M will begin doing the same.

We send at least a pep band to every game.

Can't send a "pep" version of the Aggie band. It's all or nothin.

Our band's style doesn't allow for pep band variety performances.

Fightin' Texas Aggie Band runs 350-400 members and as stated before either they all go or none go. There has been a significant push to establish an endowment that would allow travel to all games.

The band is traveling to four games this year. SMU, La Tech, Ole Miss and Bama. It's the full band and I don't think the FTAB ever sends a pep band.

I was there too. They were the only arkies in the building after half. Couldn't have been more than 20 I'd guess
