Muster represents the Aggie spirit of those who have gone before us and those who will come after. Muster falls on April 21st, a day that has always been special for Aggies. In the 1870s and 1880s field days were held on this day to commemorate the battle of San Jacinto and Texas’ independence. During WWI, Aggies gathered on April 21st all over Europe. In the early 1920s Aggies were urged to meet, “If there is an A&M man in one hundred miles of you, you are expected to get together, eat a little, and live over the days you spent at the A&M College of Texas” said Texas Aggie. These meetings spread around the U.S and gathered worldwide recognition when in 1942 some Aggies gathered under fire during Japan’s siege of the Philippines. To this day Muster is still celebrated by Aggies all over the world and is the largest ceremony that takes place on campus in College Station. #tamu26 #tamu2026 #sawemoff #aggiemuster #gigem
