What if the sitting mayor asks you to play at a city event?
What if a congressperson asks you to play at a community rally?
What if the governor asks you to play at inauguration? Or the President?
Whether you tacitly or otherwise agree with their politics or not, sometimes the good can outweigh the bad in these types of situations.
The kids that got to perform in Obama's inaugural high school marching band will carry that experience with them for the rest of their lives. Talladega College's alums likely feel the same for their performance at Trump's parade - even if most of them would never vote for Trump.
Sometimes it's worth it if we look past our own preconceptions.
