Aggie Muster reservations being accepted now for April 21

 Former students of Texas A&M will gather in Longview on April 21 for the annual Texas Aggie Muster.

The Texas Aggie Muster tradition, which spans more than a century, will be observed in more than 300 locations around the world. These Muster gatherings are held in many unique places ranging from battleships and foxholes during World War II to ballrooms and steakhouses today.

Over the years, Aggie Muster has grown to be one of Texas A&M’s most revered traditions. Muster honors the memories of A&M men and women whose deaths prevent them from answering Roll Call at the year’s Muster. The Roll Call is a roster compiled of all former and current students who have died over the past year. As each name is called, a friend or family member will answer “Here!” symbolizing that their memory lives on in the hearts of Aggies everywhere. Muster is more than just a ceremony; it is also an annual way for Aggies to renew the loyalty and unity which constitute the foundation of their friendship for each other as well as their love and devotion for their school.

Reservations to attend Texas Aggie Muster held in Longview will be accepted through Friday, April 15. Please contact Muster Chair, Becky Wallace, by text or call at (903.452-5924) or email at b e c k y w a l - lace1978@gmail.com. Cost is $30 for adults and $15 for children under 12 years.
