The Abridged History of the Fightin' Texas Aggie Singing Cadets
Fri, Jan. 13, 2012 (7:30pm) Great Hills Baptist Church
The Texas A&M Singing Cadets began in 1893 at Texas A&M College as the all male glee club. In 1937, after several different directors and years in limbo, 18 students came together to cement the glee club into A&M history writing a constitution and establishing the student organization that exists to this day. In 1940, the glee club was renamed the Singing Cadets as a result of a student body naming contest. Through the efforts of directors like J. J. Woolket, Richard Jenkins, “Pop” Turner and “Coach” Boone, the Singing Cadets became one of the elite and most popular collegiate choral groups in the country. Though Texas A&M has changed drastically since nine members came together in 1893, the Singing Cadets remain as a strong reminder of the storied history and tradition that exist at the university.

Since their inception, the Singing Cadets have grown to receive national acclaim performing each year for more people than any other collegiate choral group in the United States. They travel each year across Texas, throughout the United States, and abroad spreading the Aggie Spirit through the gift of music. This gift has won the hearts of Aggies and non-Aggies alike. Brought together by their common love for and devotion to their school, the Singing Cadets are comprised of male Aggies who volunteer their time for long rehearsals and more than 70 performances each year. Their reward comes in the form of enthusiastic audiences, gracious host families, and service to Texas A&M. Each member works hard to reach the group’s common goal of excellence, and through their dedication continue to make the Singing Cadets the Voice of Aggieland.
