Was that the Stanford band? They are notorious for offensive gimmicks. (BTW, that’s where Waters came from. Isn’t it ironic?)

Eerie that he's in Ohio and looks so much like Drew Carey, who made a pop cult out of Cleveland.
Waters, left; Carey, right.

"
“reportedly has existed for years”" Hazing, up to and including physical harm, has been part of the culture and tradition of TBDBITL since at least 1968. Surviving it was a badge of honor then, when the band was male only. If what was described in the article is true today, the band program needs to be suspended.

Before scrolling comments I had the band camp reference over/under at post 12. Sadly I lost. Wife gets breakfast Sat morning.
So close on time, so far away on the count...
