Yell Practice

Real School Spirit
Yell practice, held each week during football season, represents more than just another campus event. It is the time and place where enthusiasm is generated. The new student often gets his/her first feeling of real school spirit on these occasions. At yell practice the band and yell leaders take their places in front of the student body. The band plays, the students practice yells, and yell leaders make inspirational talks. These are fine, moving occasions long remembered in hearts of Aggies. For Midnight Yell Practice on the day before every home game, the band forms up behind Duncan Dining Hall at 11:00 p.m. Students fall in behind and beside the band as it marches to yell practice. When the game is an away game, Yell Practice is held at an appointed spot, still at midnight, in the city where the game is to be held.

Taking a Swim in Fish Pond
After a victorious game on Kyle Field, the fish in the Corps celebrate victory by throwing the yell leaders into the Fish Pond. The yell leaders then lead a short yell practice on the steps of the YMCA building to prepare for the next game.

Continuing Support
If the team is outscored, the Twelth Man remains standing in the stadium for a short yell practice to display the continuing support for the Aggie team and to prepare for the next game.
