Since 1893, we have been ambassadors of Texas A&M. Performing over seventy concerts each year takes us across the state of Texas, throughout the country, and often around the world. Our membership ranges from All-State Choir members to guys who just like to sing for fun; from Corps members to non-reg. Corps membership is not required!  We invite you to come join the Singing Cadets and help us represent the best university in the world.
