I just watched the FAU band play for Donald And Melania Trump on Fox News. A few cheerleaders and dance team also.


I do expect a few objections from liberals on this.

Who cares.  Like it or not he is POTUS.

No objection here, just doing what they are suppossed to and he is the POTUS. Good job Owls!

As long as FAU got compensated, I have no problem.  I would cash the check fast, though, if there was one.

Maybe. From my standpoint, not really much to object to…

They were invited. They get invited to represent at numerous functions outside university events. As such, showing up does not represent an endorsement from FAU of the President.

We're basically paid entertainment - at least I hope we're paid, since that can then further fund those individual endeavors.

It's up the individual members of the band, cheerleaders and dance team to abstain if they so choose.

Great job Owls!  

Who would object to this?  This isn't even a political forum.  I would have been more upset if they got the band from UM or something.

Non issue. Who cares. They weren't going to protest and not show up, so it's whatever.

Cool experience.

Here is a story on it and a pic;
