re: Oh, say can you see, By the dawn's ... STOP Central (BR) H.S. students! No Anthem!

Leaving aside the argument about whether they should have canceled the anthem or not. My question is why in the world would anyone think it’s a good idea to publicize it in advance? There’s no way you don’t anticipate the response from a community like Central. If you decide not to hve the anthem, you just don’t play it. It’s during the school day during a student pep rally. I would bet the kids wouldn’t even notice.
