[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If you advertise a game as a family affair -- as Bullis does with the football, encouraging all Bullis families to come and bring the younger kids -- I don't think you should play songs with that kind of language.  From having spoken with him and gotten a sense of his views in general, I would guess the Head of School would agree and they'll monitor the playlist a bit more in the future.

I should add that they are still figuring out how to do the JumboTron in general.  They have kids run it -- which is great, shades of the old "AV club" back in the day -- and the kids don't always have a sense of what you should put up on the big screen.  At a recent game in which Bullis was routing the opponent the JumboTron camera started focusing on the Bullis bench and the players starting mugging for the camera/scoreboard screen, yukking it up, making gestures (nothing obscene) -- just like you'd see on ESPN so it's very understandable.  But not the most sportsmanslike move for high school, so I'll bet they will be working on that too.[/quote]
