HANE ' HORNS story by DARCI ALLEN appy 25th Birthday to the March- ing Salukis! In 1986 the band celebrated its 25th anniversary and the national repu- tation they have built on their unortho- dox approach to band music. Director Michael D. Hanes said the band's willingness to try anything once is the key to their success. lf something works, we exploit it. If it doesn't, we try something else, he said. Before a single note is played, fans can see something different about the Marching Salukis-instead of brass but- tons and plumed hats, the musicians are formally dressed in black tuxedos, cum- merbunds and homburgs. And that's where the formality stops. Percussionists sometimes play sideline cadences on metal restraining fences in- stead of drums. Many of the field drills look more like a free-for-all than plan- ned maneuvers. Frequently the band joins together to urge the football players downfield with cheers like Hold that line, block that kick. Make that point, keep your scholar- ship! Hanes said the whole thing started in 1961 when former director Donald Canedy looked at the old maroon-and- creme guard-type uniforms and decided the band needed a new concept. The band, known not only for its looks, employs a wide variety of instru- ments in routines. Tuned bongos, an entire percussion set on wheels and a Fender bass compliment the standard woodwinds and horns. The band also had a marching violinist for years, but he just pretended to play.
