College Station (College Station, Texas) – While not as flashy as Southern or Tennessee, Texas A&M is still a mighty impressive marching unit and is the largest military-style marching band in the world. At over 400 members strong, the band is actually a military unit, operating as part of the Corps of Cadets and is run in military fashion with band members eating meals and boarding together. This helps to create a strong bond amongst its members and gives the group a unique espirit de corps. The Fightin' Aggie Band combines highly technical marching maneuvers with traditional-style music, a combination that has landed them several invitations to perform at national parades and other high-profile events such as presidential and gubernatorial inauguration ceremonies.
