Should be an award, not questioned. If all Black, Latino, Gays, etc. where in the Inaugural Parade the media would question them too.

Hopefully they will all be proud to be there, as they should be, and play their best. I hate that I am so cynical these days.

You haven’t seen a marching band unless you’ve seen the Florida A&M Rattlers!

Good for the band! I hope they receive a loud and long ovation as they’re making their way through the parade.

That would be kinda hard to do in a constantly moving parade.
