ok, here is the scoop. A drum major for l.d.bell was disqualified. As far as I have been led to believe, there was a party where a lot of people were drinking (underage drinking). Whether or not he was drinking is not the issue. Guilt by association is the way it was explained to me. The band directors and school had no choice but to remove him from the band. Other students were involved and also removed. Underage drinking is illegal and not tolerated by L.D. Bell band or the school district.
I personally blame the parents that allowed drinking by minors in their home.
It is a shame that a lot of people suffered from the actions of one or two.
What you do in life does have its consequence. Please remember this.
There are a lot of dedicated students at l.d. bell. The actions of one does not reflect on the whole.
