I understand your distinction now. The guard here will wear their standard uniform that matches in color of the band. Unless it is something special. The special performances are of not of the same nature as seen at the Oxford HS. Again, not political of nature.

So I take it their aviation theme was only Ok if it was civil aviation and didn't imply that other sorts of planes flew.

The subject at hand is not about a competition. However, there is countywide and statewide competition in my school district and state. The uniforms do not change. They can not afford to change uniforms.

Who would conduct a marching band show about aviation? Tribesman, this is not like you. You have been reading too much Yubba.

In 2008, the Souderton Area High School Big Red Marching Band (that's one long name) did, in fact perform a show where the theme was flight. It was a purchased (aka 'cookie cutter') show.

As stated to Tribesman, performances in celebration of war, revolutions and political in nature do not occur at the local HS's of which there are 12 with in 5 miles of each other.

So does that rule out the star spangled banner?

The subject at hand is not about a competition.

The subect is about a competition, the piece in question was their routine they had prepared for this competition, it was the performance that won the competition.

The uniforms do not change. They can not afford to change uniforms.

As Takeda has repeatedly stated, the parents do it.

Who would conduct a marching band show about aviation?

The same band who did the 1940s American houswives, the same band who did St Petersburg, the band that wins the competitions for bands doing these shows.
Simple isn't it.

Hey Takeda, your link has a nazi themed show for bands to perform in this years marching bands season, quick call Faux news.

Star Spangled Banner is normally played via loudspeaker. Not the band.

The subect is about a competition, the piece in question was their routine they had prepared for this competition, it was the performance that won the competition.

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.

As Takeda has repeatedly stated, the parents do it.

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.

Yes the same band that someone finally called out the school on for the Russian Revolution performance. I can not say I have seen anything like it in my school days nor from the HS my two daughters attend.

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).

Nice concept. Can not say I have seen it performed. Dare say I probably will not in my lifetime.

How dare you. Not only were these kids glorifying animal cruelty and the murdering of bulls, but they were dressed as communist animal murderers.

The color red should be banned from all of American society forever, as this thread clearly shows that we run the risk of melting like the Wicked Witch of the West when faced with anything having to with Russia circa 1917-1991

What can I say? I was the James Dean of marching band directors.

Is it animal cruelty or just sport? I would bet my daughter would call animal cruelty. The same daughter who left her biology class during the dissection of a pig fetus. She sees it as cruelty. The teacher respected that decision and allowed her minimal exposure without recourse.

Welcome to the world of different perspectives.

This is from a picture took of me with my friends in a bar.

This is the tshirt I'm wearing in that photo:



I guess I'm glorifying communism. Someone call Fox News!

Yeah, but more importantly -- Are you drinking Bud Light?

[AVGWarhawk]

Looks like you are ridiculing Communism, not glorifying.

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.
