Aggie Band Reports Early
To Prepare For First Game

It’s here where a semester is won or lost!”

Charles Rowton
Editor;
The Battalion ’GT-’GS
Charlie;
It’s been a long 11 months for me, but it is an experi
ence that I’ll never forget, or be able to forget.
Being editor of The Battalion is the most thorough
way of getting to know ALL there is to know about A&M
— its traditions and its people.
You will have lots of advantages as you begin your
term in office that I didn’t have. As a transfer student,
I knew little about life at A&M, and after only three short
weeks .here, I found, myself in a position where a complete
knowledge of Aggieland is a necessity.
I had to learn quickly that “the Aggies never lose” a
ballgame, and that the Aggie Spirit is something that never
fluctuates — it is always tops.
You’ll find that you’ll be working closely with lots of
Aggies who are constantly ready to lend a hand. They
may not always agree with the stand you take, but only
in silence will they return all of their copies of the Batt
to your office or burn them publicly in front of the “C”.
There may be murmurings against you and false ru
mors spread about your character, but it is just part of
being in a responsible position.
You’ll have lots of deadlines to meet, but you must
remember that your studies come first. You can always
drop a course.
A loyal and faithful staff will be your best asset, even
though it may change several times during a month. Being
good Aggies, the few meager coins that you will be able to
offer them for their services will suffice. You’ll learn to
ignore their complaining.
The position you now hold is one of high esteem among
your fellow A&M journalists, too. The mere fact that you
were chosen over all the other applicants is an honor in
itself. After all, both of them will have other chances dur
ing their next three years here.
Yes, Charlie, it’s been a long 11 months, but as an ex
perience, it has been invaluable. I hope you will have just
as much fun as I have had learning to live without sleep.
Okay, Charlie, it’s your year . . . ho, ho, ho!

The Texas Aggie Band will
report 10 days ahead of the reg
ular A&M student body in early
September to prepare a halftime
performance and music for the
Sept. 16 Southwest Conference
football game with Southern
Methodist.
The bandmaster, Lt. Col. E. V.
Adams, said the organization will
use as many as six drills a day
to hold 45 rehearsals for the na
tionally-televised 3:30 p.m. game.
A similar plan was followed in
1963 to prepare for an A&M
game at LSU.
“The band will alternate in
door and outdoor session s,”
Adams said. “We will have time
to get in a more complicated drill
and much better playing sound.”
The director said the band
should easily be able to field its
usual marching size of 255 men
(12 per rank, 21 per file and
three drum majors) for the
state’s first major football con
test.
The nationally renowned band
will check in freshmen and re
turning students from every ma
jor city in Texas and an area
covering California to New
Hampshire and North Dakota to
Mexico City.
The bandsmen report Sept. 2-4
while regular returning students
will be back on campus for fall
semester registration Sept. 14-15.
Classes begin Sept. 18.
The 1967-68 consolidated band
commander, Henry G. Cisneros,
indicated the pre-registration
practice is receiving enthusiastic
support from bandsmen.
“We’re tickled about all that
practice time, especially since it
won’t cause any missed study
ing,” the senior said.
His combined bands staff, Ma
roon and White Band command
ers and first sergeants, schol
astic and supply personnel will
check in Sept. 2. New band

members arrive Sept. 3 and other
bandsmen return Sept. 4.
Adams said the first practice
toward installing the game per
formance will be Sept. 4 at 3
p.m. in the Dorm 11 band hall.
The first outside work will be at
4:30 p.m.
“We will work longer sessions
under the practice field lights at
night, when it’s cooler,” Adams
added.
He announced that music to be
used in the Sept. 16 drill includes
the “Aggie War Hymn,” “March
of the Charioteer” from the
movie, “Ben Hur,” and “Moon-
shot,” a new Ted Mesang march.
Practice will not be held Sun
day and the majority of the 45
drills are scheduled during the
first week. Working practices
around new student conferences,
the commandant’s commanders
conference, freshman registra
tion Sept. 13 and early class reg
istration of bandsmen Sept. 14
will lighten the second week load.
Band members will reside in
Dorms 9 and 11, two of the 12
recently air-conditioned struc
tures in the Duncan Dining Hall
area. The dorms have also been
repainted and are to be refurn
ished.
Adams said the band will have
two practice periods a week dur
ing the regular semester this
year, on Tuesdays and Thursdays
at 8 a.m. Also new in the bank
program will be grade point cred
it for sophomores and freshmen.
