LSU's stadium salute at the beginning is incredible. Plus the entire pregame is so technically proficient.

When your band even attempts a four way cross, come back and talk.

Texas A&M is the only school I have seen where the home fans stay in the stands at halftime to watch the band.

Looked like they were playing Galaga to me.

A&M only brought half the band to Bama. Didn't do a difficult routine.

Our band sucks. I think we've all accepted that. Gator band is pretty darn average.

I'm biased all the way, but I marched in a military band in high school, a large one too and one of the few left in the state, and I just don't like Corps style. I find it lame and that it lacks discipline. So the Aggie Band was always the best to me, even before I knew anything about A&M or knew I wanted to go there, their band's style is what I loved so that's just me.

The only other band's I've seen that I've liked is PV-A&M and the Rice MOB.

Also, A&M doesn't really have any pre-game ceremony with the exception of the pre-game march in through campus. Halftime is where it is at.

LSU is the best and there's no denying it.

But to the OP, sorry no one bothered to actually watch your collection of videos, otherwise someone might've noticed that that was definitely not MSU's pregame. Looked like the high school band day halftime show to me.

This is the actual pregame for Mississippi State.

I have never cared for the military style. I don't think they are very creative and they play to the end zone half the time.

Wow! Someone from Texas being biased about something from Texas. That's a first.

I like LSU and Tenn's. As much as I love the marching A, I hate the way the Arkansas band takes the field. Always looks uncoordinated and sloppy. Very unimpressive.

Aggie Band is more unique than the generic band offerings of most other schools.


Unique? Yes.

Boring? Yes, after the novelty has worn off.

I respect you Ags and your loyalty to your traditions; however, many non-Ags don't get the chest-thumping over the Aggie band.

No offense intended

The corps in DCI do some incredible things. For anyone that likes to get your face melted off, I highly recommend going to a DCI show at the Georgia Dome. It's a little artsy, but there's not a better college band in the country than a corps.

The corps stuff can be cool as hell. or so weird that it is horrific to watch.

It is a fine line.

Look at SMU if you want to see a band that can flat out scream.
