Did anyone in an Aggie band outfit before the 2000s spend a significant amount of time as an outfit practicing drill and ceremony? More recent BQs say they spent time on it as an outfit very rarely, and never with any regularity.

Please define what you mean by "drill and ceremony", and I'll try to address your question.
Same.Quote:
we marched as an outfit into Duncan, but otherwise the only kind of marching we'd practice was on the drill field.

I have noticed more outfits doing drill training and practice, seems like something that has picked up in the last few years. Cadre and staff show up a week before FOW orientation starts partially so they can practice the Sabre drills and the maneuvers they will teach the incoming fish. Have even seen some outfits marching with the guidon out front with seniors wearing their Senior Boots with shorts, can't imagine why they would wear boots and shorts except for practicing maneuvers?

Same here 2000-2004. Never once marched around as an outfit with a guidon out front like I saw other CT outfits do.
We'd do D&C stuff in smaller groups for blackbelt competitions.
Never had a need to either. Every parade or review I was in I carried an instrument. Only marched in formation to dinner at Duncan, and that was a max of two turns and a halt.
Sure that could be, is it true that if Butts are going to wear them for breaking them in that they are required to wear them with shorts? In this case I think it was new seniors who wanted to practice marching in the boots in the August heat.Quad Dog said:Breaking in the boots?BootScootinAggie94 said:
