This 68-minute documentary shown at Rudder Theatre, produced in 2009, chronicles the dramatic events on the Texas A&M campus in November 1999 when the annual Aggie Bonfire collapsed in the final days of construction. Twelve Texas A&M students lost their lives, and many others were injured. The documentary looks back at the tradition, the tragedy and how the rivalry football game days later with the Texas Longhorns became an emotional focal point for all affected.

We're turning up the heat with a concert that's all about celebrating tradition. Get ready for a night of pure energy and excitement before the big game at the Cotton Holdings Lone Star Showdown Concert, presented by ASA Events, featuring Pat Green, Shane Smith and the Saints, and the Randy Rogers Band.
