\n Columbia University\u2019s marching band has reportedly self-cancelled.<\/p>\n

According to the Ivy League college\u2019s news<\/a>paper, The Columbia Spectator, the infamous troupe said in a letter that it voted to disband after a Saturday meeting to address anonymous Facebook<\/a> posts accusing band members of misconduct.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe Band has maintained a club structure founded on the basis of racism, cultural oppression, misogyny, and sexual harassment,\u201d the letter read. \u201cWhile substantial efforts have been made in recent years toward undo-ing decades of wrongdoing, we as a Band feel ultimately that it is impossible to reform an organization so grounded in prejudiced culture and traditions.\u201d<\/p>\n

The letter from the band, which had a reputation for pulling pranks, said: \u201cThe current Band hopes that the Band\u2019s dissolution will provide relief to the present suffering of the Columbia community and time to heal from the decades of harm caused by this organization.\u201d<\/p>\n

The group had long prided itself on politically-incorrect irreverence and frequently clashed with school officials.<\/p>\n

The band often reveled in phallic field formations during football game<\/a>s and occasionally cheered for opposing teams.<\/p>\n

The historic group, which has been around for over 100 years, didn\u2019t have much to play for anyway, as the school banned the group from official campus functions last year after a prolonged fight over funding.<\/p>\n

Reps for the band could not immediately be reached for comment.<\/p>\n

But, according to the school newspaper, the letter asserted that the online accusations were grave enough to force a reckoning and included \u201callegations of sexual misconduct, assault, theft, racism, and injury to individuals and the Columbia community as a whole.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cThe Band has unanimously and enthusiastically decided to dissolve,\u201d the letter stated. \u201cThe Columbia University Marching Band will not continue to exist in any capacity and will no longer serve as a Columbia spirit group.\u201d<\/p>\n

The group cryptically stated that it would issue further statements on its decision in the coming days \u2014 including a \u201cmore thorough apology\u201d for its behavior.\n <\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
