Haney set to retir from Afiffifie Band Ihildren nts kn< "olden ten about onimmigra oBfe in f tudder Au By Mia B. Moody Reporter After directing the Fighting Texas Ag gie Band for the past 17 years. Col. Joe T. Haney will retire in May. Haney, 62, said he is retiring to do some of the things that he likes to do, not to transfer to another job. year at A&M. He told usttialbu like a senior too. because he is Iff A&M and moving to a different5* his life like we arc." the Mis: ented “ The play arelik, a Sited to t Bston, and “I am going to miss directing the Ag gie Band,” Haney said. "I enjoy my job. but there comes a time when you have to move on to the next phase in life and this is my time. 1 am going to work on im proving my skills in golfing, hunting and playing tennis. ” Haney, a short man with a powerful voice, said he is successful with the Ag gie Band because he has the ability to re main calm under pressure and because he has a good sense of humor. At band practice, spectators can notice his sense of humor combined with com passion and patience. When the band makes mistakes, spectators can hear his pleasant but authoritative voice blaring over the speaker, “Y’all did good, but let’s do it again so you can do it better.” Kevin Roberts, a drum major in the band, said, “] remember one time at practice my hat kept falling off. Colonel Haney waited until the rest of the band went in, then he told me maybe 1 needed to wrap a rubber band around my hat and my head to make sure my hat stayed on.” T hough Haney was never act senior at A&M. he did march ini gic Band. He was a student at Atf 1944 until his 18th birthday, »tfl was drafted into the Army. Hanc; in the Occupational Forces in Kos two years and played intheAmnyh After World War 11, he went toll because A&M did not offer thi degree he wanted to pursue. Her* his master’s degree at SamHoiw" University. When Haney was in college.I’.t involved in more than just thete was an intramural tennis chi® 1 .played in a dance band, worse: boys’ camp and as a tennis in»-| help pay for his college tuition. Haney learned to play every 14J strument in college, but the tronfcsf mained his favorite. He begantafct;| vate trombone lessons while inti grade and continued to play itthr high school and college. Mary Haney, Haney’s wife, said, “Every year before the band goes to Louisiana to play LSU, my husband tells the band it’s going to be rough during the game and if a scuffle should occur, they should make sure they take care of their dear old band director.” Haney makes a point of forming friendships with many of the band mem bers. He considers his friendships with them to be important to the band’s suc cess, so he tries get to know all of them. Although he is often unable to get to know all of them personally during their freshman and sophomore years, he is usually friends with many of them by the time they are seniors. Many former band members come back to see him because they still feel a bond to him, he said. Chad Corbett, head drum major for the band, said, “Every year Col. Haney makes it a point to become friends with the bandsmen. By the time the guys are seniors, he is almost like a father to them. He said he is even closer to the se niors this semester since this is his last “1 love to play instruments t cided to direct bands insteadoftnSl play for my livelihood becauseitV- hard to make a living playingina^' | he said. “I also disliketaki trips and spending nights in mot:■ ; main reason 1 decided to direct:i f j like working with young people.
