Texas A&M Corps Of Cadets To Conduct Campus March-In For Lone Star Showdown
The Texas A&M University Corps of Cadets will march through campus prior to the Lone Star Showdown against the University of Texas at Austin on Nov. 30, 2024. An iconic part of the Aggie gameday experience, the Corps of Cadets conducts march-ins prior to every home game in Kyle Field.
Though the Corps hasn’t conducted march-ins prior to home games during Thanksgiving week in the past several years, this year’s march-in will celebrate the return of the football rivalry with the University of Texas while showcasing the full Aggie Spirit for old and new fans alike.
“It is only fitting that the Corps of Cadets welcomes t.u. back to Aggieland with one of the best gameday traditions out there,” said Brig. Gen. (Ret.) Patrick Michaelis, commandant of cadets.
While march-in details are pending the announcement of game time, Aggies and football fans alike can expect a show of pageantry and school spirit from the Corps. The campus march will begin on the Quad, home of the Corps of Cadets, where the firing of the Spirit of ‘02 cannon by Parsons Mounted Cavalry will signal the start of the march. The Corps, led by the Fightin’ Texas Aggie Band, will lead the Corps off the Quad.
The Corps of Cadets, Texas A&M’s premier leadership development program, is as old as the university. Known as the Keepers of the Spirit and Guardians of Tradition, the Corps plays a key part in upholding several of the traditions for which Texas A&M is known.
“The Corps is special to a lot of Aggies. This rivalry is one of the most well-known in college sports. There isn’t a better way for the Corps to show its support and stand as the 12th Man than showing up in full force”, Michaelis said.
Details for Corps’ march-ins will be posted as game times are announced at corps.tamu.edu/events.
