SIAP - Forrest Hill Band

[TXDawg]

Didn?t see it posted, so I apologize if it?s already been discussed.

This performance by the Forrest Hill Band at Brookhaven is inexcusable. Glad to see FH responded by suspending the band director:

WTF. Fired not suspended should be the penalty.

[GreenheadDawg]

Heads should roll for that shit. ****ing disgusting. Director and principal should be fired immediately and the kids involved expelled.

[Liverpooldawg]

The band director and the principal should both be fired, today. That's just disgusting.

[Mutt the Hoople]

My question is, why did the Brookhaven fans not go off on the band that night?

What are you saying? Storm the field and beat up kids? They did the right thing which is document and complain to the proper authorities. Terrible taste and folks will lose their job.

Generally high school bands just do one show per year, so this would have been something planned and rehearsed for months and not a direct response to any incident in Brookhaven.

None the less, they obviously should have been more sensitive and edited that part out of the show out last night. You have to show basic common sense and decency in these situations.

Nike is shipping them new band uniforms.

The band should be suspended from further MSHAA activities.

That part of the show should have never been in the performance to start with.

It's sad how our children are being indoctrinated in this fashion. Public education $ going for this type of hatred. For the sake of our nation, let's hope a non fake news outlet spreads as much of this incident to the rest of the country.

I'm saying that the Brookhaven fans there weren't too upset with the show.

if the races were reversed, the kids would probably be charged with a hate crime.

Maybe. But I'm not going to judge an entire band based on one still photograph out of context. You could do that on a lot of high school and college band performances and get the totally wrong idea.

Again though, they clearly should have not performed the scene in Brookhaven, given recent events. Gotta be smarter and more thoughtful than that.

The people in the band have very little to no say in what type of music they play. I certainly didn't want to do the Madonna show when I was in the band.

Halftime shows are just filler for halftime. It shouldn't be to make a political statement. What Forest Hill did was tasteless and wrong.

When that still photo has band members holding machine guns and people laying on the ground it's hard for it to not be a bad look.

[Jack Lambert]

Band director I suspect will be fired. What sucks this will be all over every media out let nation wide.

Were they making a political statement though? I haven't seen anything that gives any context to the photo.

In the article it says they were depicted as holding SWAT team members hostage.
