Talk:Columbia University Marching Band

The article says "The CUMB prides itself on evading university censorship. This thankless task usually falls to a college dean." As written, it suggests that the dean is responsible for evading censorship when in reality he/she is the one who imposes it. I have removed the second sentence for clarification but hope someone else can find a suitably clever way to re-introduce the concept. I added some different text in its place.

The formations in the original birth control show included a chastity belt (accompanied by a stirring rendition of "I Hear You Knocking, But You Can't Come In"), but I don't think they included a diaphragm. I have made the appropriate edit but if someone has better information than mine they should feel free to add the diaphragm as well.

I have made several other edits as well, but I'm not sure I can call them appropriate.

removing POV tag with no active discussion per Template:POV

I've removed an old neutrality tag from this page that appears to have no active discussion per the instructions at Template:POV:

This template is not meant to be a permanent resident on any article. Remove this template whenever:

1. There is consensus on the talkpage or the NPOV Noticeboard that the issue has been resolved
2. It is not clear what the neutrality issue is, and no satisfactory explanation has been given
3. In the absence of any discussion, or if the discussion has become dormant.

Since there's no evidence of ongoing discussion, I'm removing the tag for now. If discussion is continuing and I've failed to see it, however, please feel free to restore the template and continue to address the issues. Thanks to everybody working on this one! -- Khazar2 (talk) 02:39, 27 June 2013 (UTC)

Dissolving of the Band

As many of you know, CUMB has voted to dissolve. As is such, this page will most likely be flooded with new users. While I don't think it warrants a locking, please be mindful of any edits you make, and discuss any major changes here first before proceeding. Also, this page could use some citations, so please oblige if you can!

The wording of the announcement by the band was likely a parody of "woke" culture, as discussed here. JezGrove (talk) 10:13, 18 September 2020 (UTC)
