I love me some grilled bratwurst.

It could be snowing outside, and I am in the backyard firing up the grill!

All jokes aside, I do not understand why this would take place.

I am left leaning,(though I am listed as independant on my voter registration) and abhor outright communism.

Although what is implied is that this is some sort of lefty conspiracy, to indoctrinate, and I am not buying it.

Take it from someone who has been known to strap on a tinfoil hat, and discuss congressional lobbyists and our energy (oil) companies.

But you know, a fake threat is always better, and the cold war has never ended for some, just as the the Civil War never ended for others.

This was not an intentional indoctrination IMO. It was someone's idea that was executed(lack of a better word) at the wrong time and place.

I agree. I mentioned earlier it may have been in the lesson plans at the time, and just topical. Not intentional, but not good in a time of political /economical strife.

In any case, the hammer and sickle have been removed from the show.

Let us hope that spilling the blood of the director and the band boosters won't be necessary. I do wonder if the school will be changing it's colors from red, white and blue to just white and blue.

Those are color guard uniforms. They are made by the parents themselves.

Is the colour guard the ones that dance around the musicians waving flags or crosses or swords or hammers depending on the show?

I suppose fox news had to get some muppet to replace Beck after his cwazy conspiwacies got to much for the advertisers to put their name to, this is just another fake threat from Todd instead.

In any case, the hammer and sickle have been removed from the show.

pandering to one dumb parent, that the sad state your nation is in. Still at least the St Petersburg performance beat the other bands in the competion, I guess the judges lookedat the show and not some fake outrage by one ignorant git

It's also common for the color guard to dress for the time period - like the olive military-style uniforms the guard wears for this field show, Harbaugh said. It's not only about the music, she added, but also about the visual elements.

That's them. Unlike the band proper, 'guards don't have standard uniforms. Their outfits will vary from year to year based on the theme of the show. To save cost, their flags and outfits are stictched by the parent organization (the boosters) themselves.

@AVG, what have I been saying for the last several posts? The guard uniforms change every year.

As long as you continue to do business with the largest dictatorship in the world that calls itself communistic: yes. One of my favorite bands did a song called "Holiday in Cambodia" in the late 70s, catchy tune, the lyrics are not really an endorsement though.

You can still use a Vienna sausage as a surrogate in your hotdog. As we all know, the Austrians never had anything to do with Nazism. Or, as a German comedian once said: "The Austrians are the smartest people on earth, they made Hitler a German and Beethoven one of them."

But who the hell is Hans Gruber, a character from the sinfest cartoon?

You never seen Die Hard 1?

Do yourself a favor, Alan Rickman is awesome.

He was a German terrorist trying to steal millions of bearer bonds from a corporate safe.

He got launched off a building in the end.

(no need to see it now)

I was going to to say that line after reading the first part of your post. Curse you for stealing my thoughts before I could think of them.

Not a clue, but definitely not a character from the comic. I wish there was a character with such an awesome name. It sounds hilarious when I pronounce it out loud.

Edit: Doh, there it was right above me. Well, it still sounds hilarious.

I've only seen the German dubbed version. Can't remember the nationality of the guys, but they were not German in the krautish translation - however they spoke in German - just like Bruce and the rest of the actors . Wikipedia says they renamed Hans to 'Jack'

And I have said these look to be Russian uniforms as part of the show. Changing the uniform from year to year is not in question. What these kids are wearing are resembling Russian military uniforms. It is not as simple as a sickle and hammer. Time period clothing was part of the show. I said the kids should wear the school colors. These are not the school colors. These are olive green military uniforms.
