Aggie Muster is one of Texas A&M’s most honored traditions and is celebrated in more than 300 locations worldwide and is a wonderful event to connect with fellow Aggies as well as those that enjoy the spirit of Aggieland.
The Muster Tradition:
Aggies gathered together on June 26, 1883, to live over again their college days, the victories and defeats won and lost upon the drill field and in the classroom. By April 21, 1903, this annual gathering evolved into a celebration of Texas Independence on San Jacinto Day. These early meetings included field games and banquets for Aggies to reflect and celebrate their memories of Aggieland. “Let every alumni answer a roll call,” wrote the Former Students. It was not until 1922, however, that April 21 became the official day of events for all Aggies; thus, the annual tradition of Muster was born. The March 1923 Texas Aggie urged, “If there is an A&M man in one hundred miles of you, you are expected to get together, eat a little, and live over the days you spent at the A&M College of Texas.”
Our speaker for the evening will be J.K. “Kyle” McNeely ’74 and he will be telling stories of Aggieland from when he attended Texas A&M from 1970 -1974, plus news from Aggieland today. Kyle was in the Corps of Cadets and he served in the Ross Volunteers. Kyle graduated in May of 1974 with a degree in Engineering. He was commissioned in the US Air Force and served for 8 years.
We also want to invite any and all high school students in the area who have hopes of attending Texas A&M.
Thanks & Gig ‘Em!!
