Each Halloween, Company C-2 of the Texas A&M Corps of Cadets carries on its long-standing tradition, the Flight of the Great Pumpkin. First held in 1963, this unique event blends Halloween spirit with Corps pride as cadets of all classes take part in a night of camaraderie, history, and spectacle on the Quad.
