They should cancel the entire band program at that school.

I’m against the new strain of jive-turkey half-time shows, trying to use march band instrument to play the boogaloo on the field.

Instead of marching and formations, it’s booty-shaking and vulgarity that would make Miley Cyrus proud.

I’m old and retired now, but I once entertained getting a degree in music and becoming a band director, but that was in 1963, thank God I didn’t follow up on that, with what has happened with the schools.

I agree with you. They are supposed to be MARCHING bands-—not tell-a-story-with-a-political-agenda bands.

I tend to agree.

When I saw the photo that’s in a couple of the above links a few days ago I couldn’t believe it, that High School has a real problem.

Thank you. Spot on. It’s a MARCHING band, not the drill team or flag corps.

At state competitions, the military style MARCHING bands are always in the top scores.
