[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]There is one persistent whiny parent on this thread, who thinks their entitled child should get whatever they want. And will go to great lengths to insult what they can’t have.[/quote]

It's not entitled.  Marching band is a huge commitment and its supporting sports.  If you have a kid into sports its not fair to tell them to cheer on other kids but they cannot do their sport.[/quote]

So cheerleaders should be able to not do cheerleading because they might want to do a different sport that they would otherwise have to cheer for?
Hate to break it to you, but the purpose of marching band is NOT to support sports. It traditionally is part and parcel with football, for whatever reason. That's it. But marching band today isn't FOR the football team. It's FOR the MUSIC students. I think the greater injustice is forcing the marching band to "support" football. What about other sports? Why not make the football team come out for band competitions?[/quote]
