Kansas State University’s marching band is receiving a lot of attention for the curious formation they pulled during halftime of the school’s football game against South Dakota on Saturday.
The Wildcats band did a Star Trek-themed performance. At one point they broke into a formation of what supposedly was of the Starship Enterprise, which was the spaceship used in the popular TV show. However, many people thought they saw something else.

That sure looked like the rival Kansas Jayhawks mascot on the left and something potentially inappropriate entering the bird’s beak.
Typically when we see a school band take a shot at a rival during a performance, it’s more subtle in nature like this. It will be interesting to see what the school has to say about the curious formation.
UPDATE: Here’s the comment from the band.
We apologize for anyone offended by our halftime performance depicting the starship enterprise and the Jayhawk mascot.
