Band Allowed to Play

By Alabama Public Radio

Huntsville, AL – The Maroon and White will be able to perform during Saturday's game against Jackson State University. The band had been placed on temporary suspension after reports of a hazing incident. The band is still on probation while the incident is under investigation. According to a university statement, a complaint was lodged with the Office of the Vice President for Academic Affairs that inappropriate physical activities occurred as part of an unauthorized initiation process. Band members who've been accused of such conduct have been suspended from all band activities, pending completion of the investigation. The student handbook prohibits threats to the mental and physical health of any student in "connection with, initiation into, or affiliation with any organization."
