Thats what AGGIES DO. Now let's just bring it home... North Carolina A&T (Blue and Gold Marching Machine) 47.11% (179,967 votes) Alabama State (Mighty Marching Hornets) 38.54% (147,218 votes) Southern (Human Jukebox) 6.22% (23,744 votes) Florida A&M (Marching 100) 6.13% (23,400 votes) Jackson State (Sonic Boom of the South) 2% (7,704 votes) We traded places with Alabama State for several days but then it got personal. Several SWAC fans posted in the comment section that we were not an HBCU and should not be included in the voting. Somehow those comments leaked out on social media and pissed off some Aggies. At the close of voting last night at midnight, the BGMM had over 230,000 votes and Alabama State had 156,000! Folks in the SWAC need to realize that "Aggie Pride" is serious!

I like the renovations in Frazier Hall. I wonder if the band will be moving out of the warehouse back to Frazier. The short answer is "no." The plan as of a couple of years ago was to renovate the current warehouse "bandroom" and convert the old mattress factory in the adjacent building to rehearsal rooms and storage space. The land and buildings have been purchased. I don't know if or how Frazier Hall will be used.

Can anybody in the know shed more light onto the renovations that were were done in Frazier hall .My first concern is why was money spent on a building that we have no long term need for and why .

Those renovations were already on the normal schedule of updating and refurbishing all the older classroom buildings on campus from 2 years back. That's all.

Frazier Hall has always been used by the choir and Art Department. I think it's still being used by them.

I like the fact, not only did we win but we also garnered the majority vote of all that voted, impressive. Even if the other bands combined their powers, thr BGMM still comes out on top.
AGGIES DO... better

That $2500 will go a long way to help with recruiting and talent development.
