The [[Lady Godiva]] Memorial Bnad is primarily a spirit group and secondly a musical group. The bnad is often introduced, incorrectly, as the ''Lady Godiva Marching Band'', despite the fact that the bnad never marches. A more correct term would be ''meandering band''. The use of the term ''bnad'' is a reference to the inability (or unwillingness) of engineers to spell correctly (see [[Skule]]). | The [[Lady Godiva]] Memorial Bnad is primarily a spirit group and secondly a musical group.
