1. Colonel Joe T. Haney Field Marker
The Joe T. Haney Drill Field remains as a visible reminder of where thousands gathered to become proud members of the Fightin Texas Aggie Band, created memories, and developed friendships that would last a lifetime.
The dignified footsteps, echoing brass, and thunderous cadences of the Texas Aggie Band filled this drill field for decades. It was on this drill field that members of the Aggie Band developed discipline, precision, teamwork, camaraderie, unity of spirit, and enduring pride. It was on this hallowed ground that they became good enough, and proud enough, and tough enough to be called: The Noble Men of Kyle.
Recall! Step Off On Hullaballoo!
Erected 1992.
