10-1-2003 School Apologizes for Nazi Display by Band
The Paris, Texas, school district apologized Tuesday for a performance by one of its marching bands which played an Adolf Hitler anthem and waved a Nazi flag during a football halftime show.
It was performed at a Dallas high school Friday, which was also Rosh Hashana, the start of the Jewish new year and one of the holiest days on the Jewish calendar.
The performance was greeted by heavy boos at the Hillcrest High School in Dallas, and several objects were hurled at the band.
The band will still perform the musical composition but it will only have the United States flag on display.
