I believe the story about being banned from Notre Dame is also an urban legend. What I've been told by someone who's been in the Band for a long time (well before 1991) is that their student newspaper ran an editorial suggesting that we should not be allowed back. After that, we didn't ask to come back for a while, but we were never actually told by the school not to come.
Also, the part of the article that says that Band members dropping their pants on the field is a regular occurrance is inaccurate. At rallies, maybe, but not often on the field. SlySi

There's enough stuff on the dollies to create a separate Stanford Dollies page.

Yeah, yeah, we don't need to debate the legitimacy of The Play *on this page.*
Many years ago, I heard the story that the Stanford Band had been banned (no pun intented) from some airline (TWA?) becuase they had thought it a clever idea to see what would happen if all the band members started on one side of the plane and on a signal ran to the other side. Can anyone confirm that? Remes 22:47, 16 Feb 2005 (UTC)
There's been discussion of this among LSJUMB alumni for years. As far as we can tell, it's an urban legend -- nobody remembers it ever happening. I have also heard it said about the U$C Band. aelman
It is an urban legend. See here. Poseidon^3 19:27, 17 Apr 2005 (UTC)
I've also heard the same thing about the wisconSIN band (I'm from MN). This seems more believable because they're so rowdy they can't find hotels in the Twin Cities that will accept them; they had to stay in Hudson, WI for their most recent trip to MN. Davidt2718 18:25, 24 July 2006 (UTC)
Ironically, the article to which Poseidon's post points to ends with AD Ted Leland saying "Oh, I am sure they'll do something this year". The article appears to have been written the summer before the "Fighting Irish" show that got us in so much trouble. Sly Si 02:16, 31 July 2006 (UTC)
I finally found the Rolling Stone article that I heavily used for an early version of this article. It's not quite enough to blow away all the "citation needed" nits (it was published in 1987, so all subsequent items need other sources), but it's a start. Invalidname 01:11, 13 March 2007 (UTC)
