HeyWilmore yall be careful at this performance bro. I just looked up some of the history of that organization when I saw Confederacy and they are representing some racist fundamentalist principals. Im glad Sam Houston is getting some recognition though. That school and commuity really needs it.
And I aint trying to startle nobody but I have run ins with racist people who are alumi of our school. Two years ago, we celebrated our 70th year homecoming and I saw more rednecks than I ever saw before. The former bandmembers from the 30s, 40s, 50s and 60s gathered in the bandroom while my kids were getting dressed to perform and I overheard a conversion that went:
"Hey guy, you see that band? They got a nigger leading the band that we built. And the kids are all Mexican. What the hell is the world coming to?" and they were all shaking their heads and looking at me crazy so I politely asked them to leave so the students could get dressed but I swear that has bothered me. anyway congrats and be careful
Will do bruh. I also looked into that group and saw some things too. They are bring a choir to sing along with some of the tunes we are playing.
Some good light finally.
