“Softly Call the Muster…”

As one of Texas A&M University’s cherished traditions, Aggie Muster holds a special place that goes beyond a mere annual occurrence. The Roll Call for the Absent and the lighting of the Muster candles serve as meaningful gestures to honor every student, past and present. While we commonly witness the gatherings at Reed Arena during Muster, it’s the approximately 200 “Hometown Musters” that play a vital role in keeping the flame of the Spirit of Aggieland alive.

How to Honor Your Loved One

Embraced as a worldwide tradition, Muster unites individuals on April 21st in over 200 locations across the globe. In this widespread observance, there exist multiple meaningful ways to ensure the honorable remembrance of your cherished ones in the very communities they once called home. Through diverse methods and heartfelt gestures, we come together to pay tribute to the enduring connections and shared experiences that bind us in the spirit of Muster.

More than 200 Musters are typically held worldwide. Aggies’ names can be called at the Muster you plan to attend, and also can be called in the Worldwide Muster Roll Call that streams online April 21. The Association of Former Students helps organize both and maintains the Worldwide Muster Roll (list available here). Locate the Muster nearest you at tx.ag/FindAMuster and contact the chair to add a name to their roll. To add a name to the Worldwide Muster Roll, email AddAName@AggieNetwork.com. Find more information at AggieNetwork.com/Muster. 

Aggie Muster stands as a testament to the spirit of community. It serves as an occasion to join together and celebrate the collective experiences at Texas A&M. While reflecting on the cherished years spent on campus, Muster is a poignant moment to honor the individuals who have contributed to shaping the essence of the Aggie Spirit.

Guided by a commitment to inclusivity, our criteria are steadfastly maintained in every instance to ensure equitable recognition for deserving honorees. This commitment aligns with the fundamental belief of our institution that every Aggie, irrespective of lifestyle or status, deserves to be remembered by their community. With over 300 Muster Locations worldwide, we firmly hold the belief that each Muster holds significance, and no event is deemed more prestigious than another.

The Campus Muster Ceremony, in particular, is designed to serve those who have recently been part of the College Station campus community. This collective approach underscores the importance of every individual within the rich tapestry of Aggie traditions, fostering a sense of unity and shared remembrance.

 

Previous Campus Musters have incorporated the Brazos County A&M Club Honorees. We have been unable to continue this for logistical reasons. If you believe that your loved one qualifies for the Brazos County A&M Club Muster, please visit their website at www.bcamc.org.

The Brazos County A&M Club Muster Roll Call includes:

  • Former Students who resided in Brazos County
  • Additional former students as added through RSVPs

If you have any additional questions, or would like to add an Honoree to the Brazos County Roll Call, please email BCAMCMuster@Aggienetwork.com.
