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.

“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;

After World War 11, he went toll

When Haney was in college.I’.t

was an intramural tennis chi® 1

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
