[edit] Moved name
I moved the page to reflect the Wikipedia:WikiProject_Marching_Band naming convention. --Rocksanddirt 17:58, 9 July 2007 (UTC)
- OK, I have a problem with this. Although naming conventions are great when you're naming things, they don't give you the power to rename things that already have a name! No one calls Stanford's 'marching' band "the Stanford University Marching Band." It's either "the Leland Stanford Junior (pause) University Marching Band" (LSJUMB) or "the Stanford Band." The title should be changed back. David Cohen 19:57, 13 July 2007 (UTC)
- Of course, "Stanford University Marching Band" should redirect to this article, and the folks at the marching band wikiproject can include "Stanford University Marching Band" in their list of bands . . . if they value conformity to their naming convention over fidelity to the LSJUMB's actual title.

- Agreed with David Cohen! Samois98 12:38, 16 July 2007 (UTC)

Note that USC's band is under "Spirit of Troy", not "University of Southern California Marching Band". Either change that title, or move this one back to "Stanford Band". Sly Si (talk) 00:47, 6 December 2007 (UTC)
Done! The article name is back to "Stanford Band." David Cohen (talk) 06:01, 20 May 2008 (UTC)
[edit] Previous notes
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)

What about Sandinista? I think I even have a copy of it. --Rocksanddirt 17:49, 9 July 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Anagram
"Finally, for the next game they performed an anagram show and spelled out an anagrammed four-letter word ("NCUT")"-is this saying that they actually spelled cunt or just ncut. if they actually spelled cunt it should be clearly stated to avoid confusion.♠♦Д narchistPig♥♣ (talk) 20:55, 1 March 2008 (UTC)
