 Re: Want to play in HS band? Pass a drug test

All this malarkey about the main thing is "wanting to help kids" is crazy. School districts, at this time, just want to keep from getting sued by the kids parents. They don't want trouble. They don't want a drunk tuba player falling and injuring himself on school time and then having to deal with the parents threats of lawsuits. There is nothing wrong with not wanting trouble except that it is all disguised as "we are doing it for the good of the children". Today, teachers will quit teaching if they have someone that is coming to classes high and the school districts can't replace them so they want to protect them from the high, possibly dangerous kids. It's not for the good of the children. When I was in H.S. band in the early 70's, "smoking a joint" before having to march at a football game, was the attitude of about 65-70% of the band. The way they dealt with it was to let everyone know "if you can't march and play as instructed to do so, you are out of the band". No school district cares more about kids today than they did back then. Now they just know that "doing it for the children" is a phrase that wins a lot of hearts and minds. It isn't a new problem.
