Queen’s University marching band suspended for distributing ‘explicit’ and ‘degrading’ material
Canada’s largest and oldest university marching band has been suspended for the rest of the term after materials containing “offensive language that is particularly demeaning to women” drew the attention of the school’s administration.
Queen’s University’s co-ed bands will not be appearing at any of their scheduled events due to the materials, which came in the form of member guides and songbooks including lyrics such as “I wish all the ladies were pies on a shelf and [if I] was the baker, I’d eat ‘em all myself,” to quote one of the tamer tunes.
