The Vatican and Birth Control Band Parade at Sports Events
The Ad Hoc Fire Drill Band at Columbia has a long tradition of surprising audiences at football games and campus events since 1965. They perform provocative parodies set to famous tunes, engage crowds with off color songs, and have sparked controversy, including letters from Leonard Bernstein. The group tours at major venues, orchestrates semester shows, and plans a December 8 concert with the chorus, aiming to keep campus spirit high despite challenges.
