San Antonio man says he faked playing instrument in Texas A&M band for 4 years for cheap housing

A TikTok of a Texas A&M alum who claims he faked his way through four years of playing an instrument as part of the school's Corps of Cadets has gone viral. First-generation college student Gerardo Juarez, who now works as a staff attorney at St. Mary's University's Center for Legal and Social Justice in San Antonio, said in the clip that he accidentally moved into dorms reserved for Aggie band members as a freshman because it was the cheapest housing option. "A month before classes started, I got a band orientation email," he wrote in his TikTok.
