Ames High School has the unfortunate distinction of having one of the most un-American marching bands in the nation.

More than a dozen members of the band linked arms and walked off the football field Friday night during a performance of “The Star-Spangled Banner.” An untold number of other band members refused to play their instruments.

It was absolutely disgraceful. Sickening.

The children who staged the musical insurrection told local reporters they did so to protest all sorts of social maladies.

  1. If I'm not mistaken playing the national anthem is at least 50% of the entire responsibility of high school marching bands. The school should make sure all the offending students are given an F for the quarter, expelled from the band and suspended from school for a week. The sooner these idiots learn actions have consequences the better for them in the long run.

  2. So much for the heartland. The simple remedy is to disband the band until next year.

  3. how does this take anybody by surprise? The governmental school system is nothing more at this point than forced indoctrination for all things liberal and anti-american. The failures that walked off the field are doing nothing more than their instructors have coached/trained them to do.

    Their will be no great change in our culture unless the problem of public education is solved. Too many young minds are being twisted and poisoned by a progressive dominated educational system that is unashamedly anti-american.

  4. Assuming that there any grown-ups in charge, how about they. do a protest of their own, by not supporting the band and make the band members pay their own way. Again, they need to be taught the Golden Rule: He who has the gold, makes the rules.

  5. The only people who like band geeks are other band geeks. Their parents were probably band geeks too.

    1. Thanks and am not familiar with them. Bands in military schools yes but not publix ones.

  6. This is blue city politics in red states and all promoted by unionized educators. Just another reason to abandon the public education system as it is too corrupted to be reformed. indyjonesouthere

  7. Tens of millions of slaughter children? No problem.

    Complete fabrications regarding police targeting Africans in a America? We have to disrespect the country to do something about it.

    If you love your children, get them OUT of government run schools, for they are nothing more than indoctrination centers.

    If you children are White then it is even more important.

    Y'all have a nice day.

  8. When I was going to school and in the band, anyone not playing their instrument during the National Anthem would have been thrown out of the band. That was before the Feds took over our educational system. Boy, have times changed.
