Corps Trips

In Enemy Territory
Every fall the Corps of Cadets takes two Corps trips to attend the away games of the varsity Aggie football team. The entire Corps leaves College Station and assembles in the downtown area of the opposing team's city at midnight the night before the game and conducts a yell practice (see 12th man).

A Full Military Parade
The Corps then marches through the downtown area in a full military parade to demonstrate our support of the team and the strength of the 12th man. Corps Trips are usally limited to cities within the state of Texas and the Corps will always travel to Austin when A&M plays t.u. When the Corps comes to town they are occupied by the Aggie Band which marches in front and Parsons' Mounted Cavalry, which marches behind.

The Cavalry fires its 1902 model 75mm field artillery piece nicknamed the "spirit of '02" to start the parade and the band steps off on "Hullabloo". Check out the Corps Calendar to find out if a Corps trip is coming to your city and come out to show your support for the Aggies' most spirited and cherished part of the Twelfth Man, the Fightin Texas Aggie Corps of Cadets.
