I, too, am in the Bowie High School Band and was repulsed to hear that a certain member of the band was representing our organization in such a distasteful way. The words this person chose to so publicly display were inexcusable and I only ask that anyone outside the Bowie Band who took offense to them does not see our band as being as immature as this one individual. Let us all hope that, with time, even they will learn the virtue of respectful silence.
