The UW-Madison is holding at media briefing tonight about the status of the UW Marching Band.

The Office of the Dean of students has received a set of allegations of hazing against band members. Hazing has been an issue in the past, and university officials said they would take disciplinary steps if it happened again.

Speakers will include Dean of Students Lori Berquam, Band Director Mike Leckrone and College of Letters and Science Dean Gary Sandefur.

The Badgers play at home tomorrow at Ohio State.
