"Leader of Kings"
It’s already been reported heavily that celebrities are in short supply for racist hatemonger and Russian-installed puppet Donald Trump’s inauguration — but it seems he has a much more embarrassing problem. Even high school marching bands don’t want to show up to celebrate his coronation.
NBC Washington reports that high school bands — at least one of which has participated in the past five inauguration parades — have entirely opted out of applying for consideration this year:
Ballou High School’s Majestic Marching Knights performed Destiny’s Child’s “Lose My Breath” at George W. Bush’s second inaugural parade in 2005, and stepped along Pennsylvania Avenue as they played James Brown’s “I Got You (I Feel Good)” at Barack Obama’s second inaugural parade eight years later.
But the beloved band decided to take a break in January and not apply to play in the inaugural parade after several other recent performances, the principal said.
Dunbar High School’s band marched in Obama’s first inauguration in 2009 but the school will sit this one out because they are rebuilding the band, the principal said.
Eastern High School also chose not to participate, the principal said, without elaborating.
