The Aggie Yell Leaders are a group of Texas A & M University students that leads Aggie fans in a series of " yells " during athletic events or other school events.

The Yell Leaders are composed of five students ( three seniors and two juniors ) who are elected annually by popular vote of the student body.

The Yell Leaders use a variety of hand signals, called " pass-backs ," to direct and intensify the crowds.

One of the most notable former Aggie Yell Leaders is Texas Governor Rick Perry.

The Aggie Yell Leaders are composed of three seniors and two juniors, with one senior designated as " Head Yell Leader.

Traditionally, the Yell Leaders are members of the Texas A & M University Corps of Cadets in keeping with A & M's military history, though " non-reg " students have occasionally earned election.

NCAA rules prevent the Yell Leaders from participating in athletic practices, but the Head Yell Leader can usually be found during two-a-days, running and lifting alongside the football team.

The Yell Leaders attend all home and away football games, all home basketball games, some away basketball games, and selected home and away games for other sporting events.

Senior Yell Leaders watch intently as the Junior Yell Leaders perform pushups and the Aggie Band plays a tune.

Junior Yell Leaders are required to do a " class set ", which is 100 push-ups plus their class year.

During these events, the Aggie Yell Leaders tell stories about ways in which " Rock " the protypical Aggie defeats the upcoming opponents ' mascots and lead the crowds in yells, so that all attendees know what to do in the coming game.

At the various yell practices, the Aggie Yell Leaders wear either maroon ( seniors ) or white ( juniors ) t-shirts and denim overalls that they decorate with maroon paint, often featuring their graduation year and various depictions of the A & M logo or other A & M symbols.

During a game, the Yell Leaders signal the crowd to start a yell by flashing pass backs.

Once the signal is passed throughout the crowd, the Yell Leaders give the signal for the crowd to " hump it ," or lean forward with hands just above their knees, and the yell begins.

When the Aggie football team is defeated at home ( or " run out of time ," as Aggies put it ), the crowd remains in the stands at the end of the game while the Aggie Yell Leaders conduct a short yell practice, including the singing of the song 12th Man, in preparation for the next week's game.

The soaking-wet Yell Leaders then join the crowd, pacing back and forth across the steps of the YMCA building as they lead the fans in a yell practice against the following week's opponent.
