Citadel, Revisited

From WPRB News: Ian Auzenne has been all over the story of the Princeton University band’s ill-fated trip to the Citadel and he’ll be filing additional reports on the matter, including reaction from Charleston, over the next few days.

In the meantime, The Underside of Paradise has put out a story detailing the personal politics of several band members–including band president Alex Barnard who appeared on The Week in Review with Auzenne this Monday.

During his appearance on WPRB, Barnard made reference to controversy surrounding the band’s past performances and acknowledged that he has made no secret of his personal political beliefs during his time on campus. What role, if any, the radical politics of band members may have played in the events at the Citadel is unclear, but The Underside‘s reporting adds yet another layer of uncertainty to an increasingly confusing story.
