Band should be allowed to participate

It concerns me that West Gadsden High School's band was unable to perform in the annual fall festival and parade at Florida State Hospital. It is my understanding that this is due to concerns regarding their dance routines and outfits at FAMU's homecoming parade.

Being that dance is a style that blacks perform so well has drawn the attention of others, even as great as praise and worshipping.

So there seems to be no serious concerns about removing prayer more so than standard outfits and a dance routine created by some individual.
