This is quite the story.
A Texas A&M alum accidentally joined the school's marching band and proceeded to pretend to play an instrument for four years, according to his claims.Prior to beginning classes at Texas A&M in the fall of 2015, Juarez was searching for affordable on-campus housing. His search led him to selecting a hall on campus that was reserved exclusively for members of the band and the university's Corps of Cadets.
Juarez said in the TikTok video that he only played in the band in the sixth grade, but that it was too late to find new housing, so he pretended to play in the band. After the band directors overlooked Juarez during orientation, he was locked in to the band and proceeded to play the next four years in the Fightin' Texas Aggie Band.
For those asking about a tryout? Well, there was supposed to be one. However, the directors never contacted him for the audition, so he was able to sneak in. Eventually, his friends realized he wasn't actually playing an instrument, but not before he went his full four years in Aggieland without being noticed.Mike McDaniel is a staff writer on the Breaking and Trending News team at Sports Illustrated, where he has worked since January 2022.
