Tenure. Sorry.

I get the impression these types of shows with similar themes stem from this particular school frequently.

The only things which are similar are that they contain music and a dance routine, its what those bands do

The band was inspired by the music of the Russian composer. Why not celebrate the culture and not the war? Put the guard in traditional dress of the people at the time.

That is traditional dress isn't it, its basicly an attempt at the Tolstoy shirt like is worn in that other "celebration" of the russian revolution Dr Zhivargo

You still are working on a baseless assumption, what on earth makes you think it was a celebration of the revolution?
what apart from faux news actually gives you that impression?
If you are unable to show that the many "contravertial" themes available and performed throughout the states are actually celebrations rather than just themed performances how can you honestly continue your line of arguement.

You are working in your own world. I never said it was a celebration of a revolution nor disagreed with it. However, I did say the theatrical department of the school should host such performances. Not the marching band. My opinion.

Stop with the baseless assumptions I'm apparently working on. Christsakesalive!

Off to a Ravens football game. I hope the band performs Caligula.

That is an interesting view.

Why not celebrate the culture and not the war?

I stated it is not the time or place for celebration of the Russian revolution

In my neck the woods, marching bands are marching bands. They do not celebrate revolutions, wars or anything of a political nature.

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.

The discussion concern celebration of a revolution and not a competition

I wonder who said all that then?

However, I did say the theatrical department of the school should host such performances. Not the marching band. My opinion.

So the theatre should run the marching band for the marching band competitions not the marching band. An interesting view

Off to a Ravens football game.

Enjoy the match

None of what you copied and pasted state that I see this as a celebration of revolution.

Really Tribesmen. This is how you interpret my statement that the theatrical department should host performances of a revolution and not the marching band department?

Off to the game ta ta.

None of what you copied and pasted state that I see this as a celebration of revolution.

So as an example when you say the discussion is about the celebration of a revolution you really mean the discussion is not about the celebration of a revolution, and when you say it wasn't the time or place for a celebration of the revolution you mean the time and place don't matter because there wasn't a celebration of the revolution anyway.
Thanks for clearing that up.

Well, if they don't know their history,, they sure do now,, if I was a kid in that band and I wasn't taught world history that covered that,, and I was embarrassed like that,, well to be honest I don't know what I would think, I do feel bad for the kids.

Are you some sort of wise guy? You stated I believed this is a celebration of a revolution. Nowhere did I state this. I stated this is a discussion about this being a celebration to some. Others not. Some responded in the positive. Others in the negative. I responded to neither. What part is not clear?
