Where? I see two Civil Wars, two Les Miserables, Gladiator, Jesus Christ Superstar (uh oh), Pirates of Penzance (take that, Victorian class system), two Russian shows (communist content unkown), Tribute to Michael Jackson (pedophilic content unknown), West Side Story (gang-related content unknown) and two Wicked (witchcraft-related content unknown).

Think Julie Andrews

No it is not. This performance was at halftime during a football game. The competition was over the weekend prior. The discussion concern celebration of a revolution and not a competition.

They performed their competition piece at a match, damn them sportsfans were lucky to get a decent piece instead of the usual medley from glee or that nonce Takeda mentioned.
But yet again you are making a baseless assertion, its a complete nonsense that it is a celebration, or do you think those french themed pieces other schools are queing up to perform are also a celebration of revolution?

Yes the same band that someone finally called out the school on for the Russian Revolution performance

You mean the band a single idiot complained to Fox about?

Maybe where he lives. Not where I live. The parents do not make the uniforms or outfits for special performances. Is what Tak states status quo of all schools? Not from my experience

Yeah some parents are like that, they just don't take an interest.

It is not required of the student or parent. Not a matter of lack of interest on the parents part. I expect better of you. Baseless assertion..tut tut...

I expect better of you.

Yeah, it was. By and large most parents don't care what happens to their kids at school. This instance concerning the band at my local HS the parent/student are not required to prepare their uniform at their expense. The standard uniform is worn. Political performances are not done.

First clip...post game show. No one cares.

Second clip...Oxford has a real issue with blood and gore. Perhaps this years performance was the last straw.

Sorry to jump back into this, but it is worth nothing that it likely isn't at their own expense. The band has his own budget with money acquired through fundraisers. Part of that money pays for transportation costs to competitions (which are not covered by the school budget), marching band staff salaries (only the director is paid by the school) and flag, prop, and guard outfit costs. The materiels are purchased through this budget and the students are measured. The outfits for the guard are then made by a group of parent volunteers. Our group was call the sewing committee, which was certainly an apt name. They would make all of the flags and outfits for color guard.

That, of course, leads to the fact that the parents of these performers were very much aware of what the theme of this show was. Many of them worked from within to help it along.
