Muster

No matter where Aggies are, whether it is as few as two in the backyard, or thousands who gather on Texas A&M’s main campus in College Station, they come together each year on Muster day, April 21st. Ceremonies are often held by Aggie Clubs or other groups, and each event is unique, reflecting the personalities of the communities. From casual barbecues to formal events in hotel ballrooms, Musters are as diverse as Aggies themselves.

Regardless of formality, at each Muster, Aggies remember those lost in the local area, support the loved ones left behind and share memories from their time at Texas A&M. At the beginning of a Muster ceremony, a speaker addresses the crowd to reflect on the importance of the Aggie Family. Then, the “Roll Call for the Absent” is read, naming local fallen Aggies. As each name is called, family members or friends present for that Aggie reply, “Here,” and a candle is lit in their memory.
