Softly Call the Muster... Aggies worldwide are finalizing preparations for Texas A&M's oldest and most revered tradition - Aggie Muster. More than 300 Muster ceremonies are held every year on April 21 throughout Texas, the United States, and around the world. The Association of Former Students AND Dallas A&M Club urge you...just as in the 1923 Texas Aggie, that if there is an Aggie within 100 miles of you, to get together, eat a little, and live over the days you spent at the A&M College of Texas. Scroll down for details on the 2015 DALLAS AGGIE MUSTER, for which discounted advance purchase tickets are still available today via the DAMC website.
