Someone posted the intended chart yesterday on the interwebs, which looks considerably more like the USS Enterprise than this does. So it's probably just sloppy marching, not Stanford-quality marching

It seemed to me like sloppy marching, but it still would take a dirty mind to think it looked like anything sketchy. Plus there's absolutely no way they would've actually written sketchy drill. This should've been a non-issue

At least they didn't have the color guard dressed in white flowing robes running out the top.......
I vaguely remember Stanford doing something like this back in their heyday, but that was TOTALLY obvious!
This didn't look anything even remotely undesirable, IMHO!

There is a wide variety of cultures in college marching bands... There are many that would not surprise me if it were intentional. I don't know anything about KSU's band, but the KSU and Mizzou alumns I know are all in favor of this as intentional.
That said, this just looks like drill that was just barely ready for the first home game, not a thinly veiled joke.
Cheers,
Andy

If one looks at a marching band and sees a Rorschach test, the problem is not the marching band, IMO.

Looking at the chart, it seems it was the clarinets who goofed it up:
http://deadspin.com/kansas-state-band-insists-they-were-not-in-dong-formati-1729242566
Still doesn't really answer the question of why the USS Enterprise would attack a giant Space Jayhawk by ramming it in the mouth...

Knowing college rivalries I do believe their actually goal was accomplished. Now excuse me as I ice my abs after a near life ending laughter attack.

I think it is a radical environmental statement. The image on the left looks like a Dodo which is biting a gun. Obviously a metaphor, if you don't respect the environment you will get bit.

Tracz is an idiot for using a mascot of a team they weren't playing. And I don't buy it that it's sloppy marching, the kids altered the show. Bet they get busted for alcohol infractions....

Yeah...I don't think it's so much dirty-mindedness as a desperate attempt to make any kind of sense out of the routine.
Still, you have to admit, "IRRUMABO EGO VOS" would be a great team motto.

That Enterprise formation would be difficult to hit as a member. It could be intentional, but it's all to easy for it to just be early season.

So, as an alumnus of the Pride of Wildcatland (a/k/a The Kansas State University Marching Band) I'd like to make a few observations about this tempest-in-a-teapot.
1. I've seen some intense rivalries (USC- UCLA, Bakersfield High School- East Bakersfield High School, New Mexico- New Mexico State, UTEP- New Mexico State) and I have friends who have been part of some big rivalries (Stanford- Cal, Oregon- Oregon State, Oklahoma- Texas, Oklahoma- Oklahoma State). As intense as all those rivalries are, they pale by comparison to KU- K-State. This rivalry divides families in Kansas, and not always in a joking way. John Wooden was brought out to do the color commentary at a KU at K-State basketball game in Manhattan (at Ahearn Field House, for my fellow Wildcats out there). Wooden said he'd never seen anything like this.
2. Bottom line: taken as groups, these schools hate each other. I had friends at KU, but I was grad student (things are a little different for grad students).
3. It is no surprise to me at all that the Pride would decide to use the Jayhawk as a "Strange and Dangerous Space Alien". I'd actually be surprised if they'd chosen something else. It's possible the kids deliberately messed with the formation, but if they'd done that I think they would have gone farther and been more explicit.
4. I watched the clip without knowing what the program was. I was able to immediately identify the Jayhawk as what it was, and I said, "Self -- that looks like a messed up attempt at a Starship Enterprise formation. I wonder what that show was about?" It was recognizable even without the program.
5. The folks at the University of Kansas ought to grow a pair. It's a big rivalry, and there is precious little cooperation between the schools. The State of Kansas went 1-1 against the State of South Dakota and it was KU that got the beat-down by SDSU. Don't get mad, get even: when this year's game rolls around, have your Jayhawk eat a Wildcat or something.
6. Those who looked at the clip and saw something sexual really need to get lives.

I haven't been able to find a clip that shows the whole show, but I'm wondering what purpose it served to have the warp nacelles turn circular, and for the entire not-shaped-like-the-Enterprise formation ram itself into the Jayhawk's mouth. Were they morphing into something different? I don't think so. It looks to me like that formation was well planned out.
That wasn't entropy. That was synchronized directional movement.
Now excuse me while I get back to my life.

Snap crackle pop!
I do agree that there was some planned teamwork in the morphing of that formation. If not then those are some dead head marchers not paying a lick of attention to their drills.... Doesn't take someone who is perverse to see something wrong with how that was carried out.
Speaking of which I should get back to life too

I'll have to look again. Maybe I didn't see the whole clip.

....hate to break it to you, but I go here and marched that show. Many people don't pay attention
