A rep for the DC public schools told NBC 4 she didn’t know a single band that had applied for what used to be considered a prestigious gig.

“Sounds like the kids decided their values didn’t permit them to celebrate Trump’s values. I applaud their willingness to stand up for America,” said Howard Dean, a former chairman of the Democratic National Committee.

It is not the kids you turd, it is the so called adults in charge who are acting like kids, and having a temper tantrum.
Very sad that the kids have to suffer , because of these people acting like this.
Anyway there are many more bands which would love to march, and do have adults in charge.

....It is not the kids you turd, it is the so called adults in charge who are acting like kids, and having a temper tantrum....

Spot on.The kids that may have marched in 2012 are gone and the current classes have none with that memory. Betting that DC public schools director made that decision and spiked any requests from band teachers/instructors, who are motivated to serving the kids.
