Lewd Antics Lead to Band's Probation.

I consider it progress when our football players are no longer on the front page of the newspaper for lewd and criminal behavior. This time the UW Band is in the limelight for semi-nude dancing, head shaving, and "sexualized banter." This all occured on the recent bus trip to Michigan. As a UW fan who attended the game and witnessed the band's performance, I can say that we were better than the Wolvernines in one category, and it wasn't football. Happy to see that band was able to perform despite off-the-field distractions. If only they could have modeled this technique in 2000 when the shoe box scandal kept UW off the list of national football champions.
