Aggie Muster
Softly Call the Muster…
“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.”
– Texas Aggie Magazine 1923
Each year in April, Aggies around the world gather to honor fellow Aggies who have passed on during the year. Muster is one of Texas A&M University’s greatest traditions and serves to bring Aggies together to remember and celebrate their time in Aggieland. Each celebrations is unique, reflecting the preferences and personalities of the communities and volunteers who step forward to host them. Attendees will answer “Here.” as the names are read from the Roll Call for the Absent to symbolize their presence in our hearts and the Aggie Spirit, forever.

Susan N. “Sue” Owen ’94
Communications Manager, The Association of Former Students
In the 1910s, Silver Taps included cadets carrying their friend’s remains to Texas A&M’s train depot. Before the 1940s, Aggie Muster wasn’t called “Muster” – it tended to feature boisterous “April 21st parties.” And part of the Aggie War Hymn medley comes from a French opera! These are stories Sue Owen ’94 has uncovered as part of her work for The Association of Former Students, writing about Texas A&M history and traditions. Other stories include Aggie Ring history; visiting the facility where Reveilles retire; helping host away yell practice at Aggie games across the country; learning about pilots’ precise timing of Aggie football flyovers; and more. Sue has visited Texas A&M Clubs from coast to coast, been active in the Capital City, Williamson and Brazos County A&M Clubs, and serves as a proud Class Agent for the Class of ’94. She is a communications manager for The Association of Former Students.
