K-State Marching Band FAIL (Win?)

Apparently they were attempting to show a University of Kansas Jayhawk being attacked by the USS Starship Enterprise from the Star Trek.  

 

Yeah, sure they were.

if you want a cutting edge band show, look no further than Ohio State University, home of TBDBITL. They can make michael jackson moonwalk in their show.

I played for five seasons in two major college marching bands. Fortunately the directors who I played for stayed away from putting odd shapes in formations. On the field you have little idea of the alignment of the entire formation, just your small part of it. I was a rank captain, and it was hard enough just keeping 16 people in line in a normal formation, let alone something like what Kansas State did.

 

Few band performances make me stand back and say "wow" (both bands I played in have won the Sudler Trophy for the nation's best college marching band at one time or another). This one does.

Ummm, yeah.  But K-State did a penis.

I read somewhere that the band was fined, and they have a GoFundMe page that has raised more than twice what the fine was ($5,000). The fine was not for forming the Starship Enterprise/penis/whatever it morphed into, but for using the Jayhawk, which is a registered trademark of the University of Kansas.

OSU band is good.    But how would they have fared against the LB St. marching band in the 1970s?

 

LB St. marched some 160-180 strong, and was acknowledged as good of a marching band as there was in the West back then.

They even marched in the 1977 Rose Parade.

And the LB St. pep band numbered some 80-100 back then, and got similar accolades plus made life miserable for opposing basketball players.

OSU would have destroyed the beach, and you can take it to the bank!
