What are the benefits associated with being in one of these bands?

What are the benefits associated with being in one of these bands? Are there scholarships, etc.? I ask because I’m wondering what repercussions these kids would face if instead of actually playing their instruments at the next game, they simply walked out or collectively took a knee or something.

It sucks shit. Would rather have someone who doesn’t do brownface and blackface and doesn’t have a Haida tattoo (unless of course, that someone actually were Haida).

Why do we keep doing this to ourselves? “Well, my dad was a navy pilot, so I deserve a career”: sound familiar?

Look, I’m tired of going over this: Up is not a depressing movie. Unless you watched the first ten minutes and turned it off, in which case, yes, it’s nearly suicide inducing.  The movie as a whole is wonderful and I watch it often.
