I haven't been to the pride parade here in a few years so it may be developing more but it's funny to me when people talk about how it's all just capitalism because in smaller cities it really isn't. The capitalism is an I assume gay locksmith in their undecorated locksmithing van and rumble the bison

The Morgan State University Marching Band playing the Stars and Stripes Forever by John Phillip Sousa at the commemoration of the 80th anniversary of D-Day in Normandy, France. Morgan State is the first HBCU band to be invited to perform at this annual ceremony and parade. The band performed in the 2019 Macy's parade and I saw them live at the collegiate marching band festival in Allentown in 2018.

Stars and Stripes is the official national march of the United States of America. Included below is another chart from the performance, Talkin Out the Side of Your Neck by Cameo, which is a popular HBCU staple.

Tyler, The Creator & Sexyy Red Stunned By HBCU Marching Band’s Epic ‘Sticky’ Cover

Tyler, The Creator and Sexyy Red are quite impressed after an HBCU marching band played their own rendition of the pair’s collab, “Sticky.” During the Jackson State Tigers’ game against the Alabama State Hornets over the weekend, Jackson’s Sonic Boom of the South marching band performed a live version of the CHROMAKOPIA cut, which also features GloRilla and Lil Wayne. 50 Cent Slammed For…

Hi. Your tags on the performing arts as a kid survey made me chuckle. Color guard is definitely on the American pep squad nonsense spectrum. Color guard marches on the field with the rest of the band, spinning colored flags to the music. Some of them also spin these big, hard wooden rifles. Majorettes are baton twirlers who are also part of the color guard. If you ever do a YouTube search for HBCU matching bands, you will get a good example of the whole spectrum of color guards marching and performing on the field during football game halftimes. Well-funded high schools with a decent budget for marching band will have a color guard, but many smaller high schools do not. So, there is some unnecessary information today! Have a good day.

Every time I find out a new thing about US high schools I think that it can't possibly get any more alien to me. Then I learn they teach people how to twirl wooden rifles and I am reminded that my imagination is a limited, paltry thing.

Flags I kinda get, although I still think it's bizarre (are kids in US schools allowed to not be in a team? Are they allowed to just do the school bit of school? Are they allowed to simply exist and then go home at home time?). Flags are pretty. Wooden rifles is so...

I'm not saying that training children in some weird facsimile of militaristic pride might come across as a bit brainwashy. But... you have children march around a field with fake guns? I can't help but find that a little disturbing.

Is that just me?

It probably looks really impressive and involves a lot of skill. I'll have a look for some videos when I get a moment. The concept itself is fucking wild to me though.
