PALO ALTO, Calif. -- The Stanford marching band has been temporarily suspended through next spring after a panel found repeated violations of school policies.
The punishment announced Friday comes after the band was barred from performing at away games during the 2015-16 season for violating policies on sexual harassment, alcohol, controlled substances and hazing.
Stanford University officials tell the Mercury News the band will be reconstituted under a new music director.
The band was booed off the field during the Rose Bowl halftime show earlier this year after offending some fans with its performance.
