How are fake guns allowed at a high school band performance each week? That doesn't seem possible nowadays but maybe it is.


yeah, when elementary kids are suspended for making their straw into a perceived gun shape.

Terrible timing, but not something to create a lot of drama about. If it was their standard program, then it was just done at an inappropriate time.

They are holding them exactly like black people hold guns.

then it should have been addressed by the school board after the first performance

It's the marching band, not interpretation of performance art

Believe it or not, Jackson, MS is only the third worst Jackson in the country. Someone posted the crime stats here a few months ago.

Unfortunately I am not surprised by anything that comes out of a certain demographic of our population.

The school wouldn't let the band play Neck, so this was option 2.

I just realized this was a road game. Forest Hill traveled to Brookhaven - which is about an hour away, give or take - and did this "show" at halftime.

Bands perform music, and sometimes, spell out formations or words or sway a lot. That's not a band performance, that's a theatrical performance.

A theatrical performance at a road game??? What in the world?

More than likely those students are either in the pit, extras, or colorguard. Also, many bands have extras/pit/colorguard doing theatrical shite during the halftime shows. Also, the visiting band performs their halftime show as well more often than not in high school games.

That said. Poor optics and those in charge should have known better. Dumb decision was dumb
