Legend, you are right and it is a concern, but the lack of musicianship displayed is the LEAST disturbing thing about this video.
Maybe I am just
- older
- have had kids in a HS program,
- got 6 kids - all seniors and including the band captain who is also the son of the booster president - suspended this year because they chose to go drinking before the last away football game,
- was a youth pastor for 10 years and a senior pastor for the last 5
I know these kids don't think because their parents don't think. My earlier post was about the BD. Here is another question for you: Where are the parents? Where are the chaperones? Why didn't they stop it? Why did they accept such risk?
My daughter was a DM in 2006-07. She loved to have fun as much as any kid, but doing something - leading something - like this would have never entered her mind. Why? Because getting suspended for something like this would cost her reputation, freedom, scholarships, and the the ability to sit down for 4-5 days. And, yes, she was 18 years old.
