This is our 3rd Muster, we did the first one in 2021, because it seemed like it was needed. Our Muster is small, participatory, and weather permitting will be outside at the Scout Fire Ring, and inside the Scout Hut if weather occurs. We are not serving dinner, and the program is full, but designed to be concise. You are the Muster speaker, we ask that a few participants share their first Muster, or why they felt called to come to this one.

A Muster only needs 2 Aggies. There are no rules or required elements, nor even a standard program, just many traditions. We are all busy, and most of us do not go to Musters. This Muster is a brief moment from our busy week.

Muster is the one tradition that separates A&M from all other schools. But this is no longer a small military school in 1935. We're not just remembering classmates we have known and lost. The school is too big. So Muster evolves. The names we will read did not know you. You don't know them. Their family does not know you are answering "Here" for them, or even that their name gets called at our Muster. And when you or your family members are gone, someone in your A&M family whom you do not know is going to call your name in the roll, and someone is going to answer. That seems to me the way the world should be.

Our world needs more connections like this. That's why you come to Muster. It's always worth the few minutes of your evening once a year. Stop in to ours if you're near, stay as long as your like.
