The Stanford University marching band has apologized for a controversial skit that it performed during its halftime show on Saturday during the Cardinal’s game against Brigham Young University.
The band, officially known as the Leland Stanford Junior University Marching Band, performed an act that showcased a “pair of women who were married to each other” with the program’s announcer using terms and phrases from the “sacred temple ceremonies within The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints” according to The Universe, the BYU student newspaper.
The Church of Latter-day Saints is the religious organization that underwrites BYU.
