My 3yo daughter has fallen in love with the Aggie Band. She's been asking our echo to play Aggie Band music for awhile, she loves listening to the War Hymn. We went to the Aggie Band 125th anniversary reunion for the UTSA game, and she saw the Band march in person for the first time. She got so excited that she's been asking to go back to the Aggie Band ever since.

We try to limit her screen time, but this weekend we were at my grandmother's and didn't have anything to play band music on but our phones. I showed her her first drills, and she was completely rapt. She'd get really excited for the Bugle Rank drills and squeal with excitement saying, "They're ready for the trumpets!" in anticipation of stepping off on Hullabaloo. Now she asks for the, "Fightin' Texas AGGIE Band!" with a lot of emphasis on, "Aggie," and tells me she wants the Aggie Band where they march.

So losing to lsu doesn't matter. After this weekend, the future is so bright I need shades.

Hey man. This is a discussion board about all things aggie football. There's no linear narrative even as much as some would hope so on here to just ***** non stop.

This thread isn't my cup of tea but it may be for others.

I'm glad you have a kid to help you find the real meaning of life and to get your mind off of Aggie football.

All I got is this sixer of Miller High Life.

It's not an Aggie loss without the customary "kiss your kids" posts.

In related news, the real SEC Championship might just be the friends we've made along the way.

If it makes you feel better, she likes watching football and thinks that every game on is the Ags. I don't let her watch a whole lot because she's to young for that kind of disappointment.

You know you're a great parent and that your parenting is on-point if your kids aspire with all their heart to graduate from A&M.

You show me a kid wearing Aggie attire and I will show you a future leader of our society and a kid that is on his/her way to being rich and accomplished in life.

It's better than liking a foot up your ass.
It is so easy to be wrong—and to persist in being wrong—when the costs of being wrong are paid by others.
