Tahoe trip part of reason Stanford band silenced
By Jenna Lyons, San Francisco Chronicle
Stanford University marching band has played its last tune for the rest of the school year.
University leadership temporarily suspended all activities of the ensemble on and off campus from Friday through spring 2017, citing “constant and repeated violations of policy” suggesting a “systemic cultural problem.”
A Dec. 1 review from the panel found that the band broke alcohol rules at gatherings and used band funds to rent a cabin at Lake Tahoe, violating the travel ban, according to a letter to band leadership from Greg Boardman, vice provost for student affairs.
