jennyjenny, you are so right about the sports fanaticism that permeates the "rah rah sis boom bah" school "programs" of today (as well as in the past). The little girls flounce, rip, strut and jiggle, either acting like mock men or little tartlets in front of crowds consisting of numerous dirty old men for hours on end in order to stroke the egos of the school "planning committees". - It is pretty off-putting to watch the old men (who probably consider themselves paragons of virtue) leering at the little girls in the "dance troupe" at half time as they gyrate in short, skimpy outfits appearing for all the world like they are simulating sexual acts. . and it is getting worse all the time. - When I was in high school 40 yrs. ago, the majorettes wore super short silly red Santa Claus type outfits with long sleeves with fur cuffs and legs as nekkid as jaybirds. I distinctly remember one of these majorettes who always had a red nose which ran all the time - and all to tittillate the leches whether it was conscious or not. - I was thankful when our nieces and nephews who were musicians in the band graduated so we would NEVER be expected to attend one of these football games again.
If I had it to do again, our child would either have been home schooled or in a solid Christian fundamental school as I wish I had been. My memories of high school especially could be summed up mostly with "rah rah sis boom bah, bee bop a loo loo bam boom bang" to describe the "school spirit" dynamic of that time. Sadly, when there's a school reunion, they try to "recreate" all the old garbage that was so uncomfortable back then.
