Edit #2: out of your life is a good start

SIAP - I scrolled back a few pages and searched and didn't see this.  Crazy story if true.

aggy grad says he accidentally ended up in the corps, and then the band, and somehow faked his way through four years without ever actually playing an instrument.

aggy Artificial Insemination

 

You've left out the "n" and added "rtifici" for no discernible reason. I'm inclined to assume a small stroke or perhaps a cat or dog on the keyboard. I might be willing to suppose you were just getting frisky with a sheep.

Aggie buddy's freshly-indoctrinated Aggie son talked about this "march so complex that it shouldn't even be possible" stuff. I commented that if their engineers were stumped by it then it doesn't say a lot for their engineers and that I'm sure I could find some people in Austin to explain it to them fairly easily.. They were unamused. (And everyone in the Wendy's drive-thru clapped.)

I've seen the Fightin' Aggie Band quite a few times and it's a cool show they do, but it gets very tiring to deal with Aggies wanting to make their "good enoughs" into "the greatest evers".

They are so full of shit about their band. All they do is march 12:5, no tempo changes and they march forward making 45/90/180 degree turns. It's fucking child's play.

I played drums in LHB.
That core stuff is fucking impressive.
We used to laugh at the Aggie gomers carrying around brass without mouth pieces. COSPLAY band and army.

That is amazingly hilarious. Out of curiosity why didn’t they have mouthpieces? Was it just to have numbers on the field with members that couldn’t play? I have 2 cousins that played in the LHB years ago who are still doing their thing at the HS level now.

I love it at 0:25 when he says Kliff would've stayed with me and we would have ran it back and gone for "ANOTHER ONE".   Another what?  Another 4th place finish (out of 6) in the SEC west and another Chick-fil-A bowl championship?  How is this dude still getting air time?

They were fake musicians. Marchers only.

That idiot band is devoid of musical talent.

tl;dr: It's a cult. They cheat.

I played trumpet in the Goin' Band in the early 90s, and we made fun of them, too, especially since most college bands do a new halftime show for just about every game. The aggy band? They've done the same show with the same music at every game for years.

And, yeah, we all knew that many of their marchers weren't musicians. The obvious lack of mouthpieces kinda gives it away when you're down on the field and can see them up close.

The military marching style they do is high school-level shit. Very easy to learn very quickly, especially if you also don't have to memorize the music at the same time. Sure, it looks neat at first blush, but it doesn't make them THE BESTEST BAND IN THE LAND like their delusional fan base thinks.

It's pretty much the same with the whole mythology they've constructed about their history of football greatness based on a decade or so of cheating.

Gotcha, so just numbers on the field for their square dance. As a band dad for one of my kids, I’m glad my kids school doesn’t do military style, I’ve never been a fan. Personal preference and not judging.

Former band dad here.

Judging like crazy.

You must be nuts. It was reported here somewhere, that even physicists could not explain how the famous aggy band did their criss-cross bull shit.

Believe it was an aggy physicist though.

And they were absolutely right the secret is to turn them into a integer spin bose einstein condensate at room temperature, we sips are too stupid to get it though.

I think if you stick around Chick fil-a long enough, they give you a free 12 pack of nuggets.
 

12?! WHOOP!

Much like how nobody could explain their success with cold fusion. Even aggy couldn't explain it.

I am starting to think Graham Harmon is not a real person.  For someone who is trying to be in media, he has a linked In profile with almost nothing updated, and no posting activity.  If you go to the church he shows as his current employer he is not on their staff website.

I am also not finding him on facebook or Instagram.  Maybe he is there, but for someone who wants to be in the "media" he has a very small or non-existent digital footprint.
