Only tangentally related. What you get when you mix smart kids with a sense of entitlement and too much of their parents' money. Irreverence is one thing... This Time the Band Is Up a Tree at Stanford By Jim Peltz Times Staff Writer September 16, 2006 Stanford has its home opener today against Navy, but the Cardinal's irreverent marching band will miss the halftime show. The band was placed on "indefinite provisional" suspension because of its members' "intentional destruction" of a campus trailer that served as the band's temporary home, the school said this week. The band members hit the trailer's walls with a sledgehammer, broke windows and tore down much of the ceiling, and the walls "were spray-painted and covered with food," Stanford said. "This was a truly disturbing incident," said Greg Boardman, the school's vice provost for student affairs. The suspension includes banning the band from traveling for one year. Stanford's band, which eschews traditional uniforms and marching in formation, has a history of antics that have drawn a suspension or other discipline, and, in this case, band president Adam Cohen seems contrite. "It was wrong. Most of them know it was wrong," Cohen told the San Jose Mercury News. "And we're willing to accept our punishment for the role we played."
