The Texas A&M Corps of Cadets marches down Congress Avenue on Friday, Nov. 28, 2025. In a return to a tradition last seen in Austin in 2010, the 2,400-member Corps, led by the Fightin’ Texas Aggie Band, paraded through downtown ahead of the Lone Star Showdown football game against the University of Texas. The Corps traces its origins to the founding of Texas A&M in 1876.
