UVA had a band like that, called the Pep Band. After poking fun at the stereotypes for West Virginia during a bowl game in December 2003, the gov of WV got on the phone (so to speak) to the pres of UVA. The Pep Band was un-invited from performing at games.
Now, UVA has a "donation" that funded a "proper" marching band, and the Pep Band plays in the parking lot.
It's a shame, because a lot of what these fun bands do are intended to be funny. It is unfortunate that they cross the line into non-funny.
