<p>Our band is a little over the top foolish - I would use the word “silly”, but, honestly, they’re not actually funny. It’s almost painful listening to the announcer read the scripted lines that are supposed to make the audience howl. That said, Citadel guys who made physical contact with the band play right into the “dumb undisciplined ogre grunt” stereotype as well. </p>
<p>So I usually don’t like to say “they both were off”, but I’d say that the band does bear a small minority of the blame, since I can totally picture them doing unfunny, inappropriate things at the worst possible time without giving it a second thought.</p>
