Report: D.C. School Marching Bands Skipping Trump’s Inaugural Parade Christopher Wilson.
For the first time in 20 years, no Washington, D.C., public school marching band will perform at the inaugural parade.
According to a Wednesday report from NBC Washington, no local public schools submitted applications to perform in the parade. The original deadline was Nov. 28 but was extended to Dec. 5 to allow more time to apply. A D.C. public schools spokeswoman told the NBC affiliate that she was unaware of any band in the district that had applied to participate in the Jan. 20 parade.
Other high schools in the area also reportedly declined to submit applications:
No bands in Arlington County or Prince George’s County public schools applied, according to district representatives. A Fairfax County schools spokesman was not aware of any schools that had applied, and a Montgomery County schools spokeswoman did not have information available.
The University of Maryland’s College Park campus also declined to perform again. The band was performed at Obama’s 2013 inauguration.

That’s raaaaaacist.
Good. Cut off their money. They’re whores and it will hit them where it hurts.
Trump keeps winning! punk kids aint showins ups.
Screw them and crush their little communist asses!!
Talk about chicken shtt.
After school choice that will not be a problem. We’ll have lots of PRIVATE school bands in DC
How would they eat if not in school.
Fine. Nobody wants hip hop from a marching band, anyway.
Sounds like it’ll be a White New Year.
I can think of any number of Upstate NY high school marching bands that would be thrilled to attend.
Replace Obama’s name in that song with Trump’s and require them to sing it in the schools as they had to sing the earlier song of idol worship...
Classless
But for Kapernick and BLM, they’re all in on bended knees!
PA, too, actually. Hint, hint...
It’s the kids’ loss of a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to attend a presidential inauguration. Of course, that won’t matter to the leftist school officials who decide for the kids.
OK obama wins , but the white schools from VA refuse to do this. Can you imagine the racist charge by the left, but then again black racism is fine with the left.
Well, CLEARLY, this is all Russia’s fault.
“...no local public schools submitted applications to perform in the parade...”
That’s selfish and not thinking about the kids.
These communists have been defeated. We need to follow on and “burn their villages and salt their field so nothing grows for a thousand years”
