Well, they were probably billed as the "Franklin Grump High School Marching Wildebeasts" or whatever, the band director present, and in some kind of attire prescribed by the band organization. Was the school district responsible for any injuries they would have sustained, it bring argued that it WAS a school function.kg5ie wrote:fizteach wrote:The parade was not school sponsored, but the band is.

Interesting scenario. I would argue that school is out. Therefore it is not a school sponsored event. The band kids just showed up and participated as a group, not as a school unit. I would suspect they did NOT wear their wool, school issued, uniforms. Just a bunch of kids having a good time. No UIL or school function, OK to carry.
Hard to say without the facts. In the sticks, you'd likely be OK; less likely in the 'hood.
