As a part time amateur musician, we take a look down our noses sometimes at Marching Bands in college. You know the stereotype - a chubby, ugly, geeky Tuba player - whereas I am a chubby , geeky guitar player. Anyway, when you get 300 of them together, it does lend itslef to the ribbing. This is what we think of when we hear 'Marching Band' .........
Okay, maybe that's not what we think of, but maybe it's true.... What's going on at the University of Wisconsin seems to confirm that thought. The ENTIRE marching band has been suspended from performing at today's game against Ohio State, due to improper activities, which include "Alcohol, Sex and Hazing".... They won't go into the details, but it must have been pretty bad to suspend the entire squad....
Hey, this is nothing new to the Badgers' Marching Band. In 2006, they caught flack from the university when reports of female members not being allowed to use the bathroom on the bus unless they kissed another girl on the way to the Michigan game. The tradition at Wisconsin is so bad that the marching band actually has a code of conduct manual, where they can be supended or expelled for bad behavior.
So, where you might think of the first clip as your typical marching band, the hazing allegations may make you think of this instead...
Yes, those Badgers can be pretty ornery, but not as bad as this Badger..
