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...

Some Dutch conglomerate bought Anheiser-Busch.

I used to be a Bud man, only because I know they kept existing infrastructure, and kept the jobs here after the sale. I switched to Sam Adams later.

I for one do not mind multi-nationalism. As long as Americans still work.

Only real American beer left is Sam Adams, and microbrews.

(edit: Ranier from the Pac west is kickass beer)

Hah...well, I know and enjoy good beer in addition to the peewater. St. Arnold's is a local brewery who makes some darn fine beers - really love their Amber Ale, and they make a great IPA too. Maredsous also makes great beer...the Tripel is deeeelicious.

Same makes some good stuff too. Cherry Wheat is a fun summertime beer. Old Fezziwig is disgusting though.

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.

Bud light, the number one beer in America if I'm not mistaken. I drink it when eating crabs or just when I want a few. It is not heavy. It is great after cutting the grass to handle that thurst. You keep on drinking that beer Mookie.

Don't listen mookie! That just the voice of The Man trying to keep you down. You don't have to keep choking down that Victory brand beer.

Tak, it is a good beer for a hot summer day. The heavy beers just don't cut it. Personally I like Shiner Beer. Mookie knows of Shiner Beer.

Then we'll have to agree to disagree then. You do what you think right in your country and let us do what we think is right in ours.

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.

Fox wouldn't have said that. MSNBC maybe but not Fox.
