Similiar situation (but not much)... My H.S. group performed The Inferno and The Ascension as part of our Spring Concert last night. The brass were strong but the poor WW's were not stellar. I had a student refuse to participate in these two songs because they "violated her religion". She is Catholic and her priest supposedly told her not to play those two pieces. I wonder... we recorded the show last night. What kinds of msgs would we get if we played those two songs backwards? BTW my band is not an awesome 5/6 group, but the kids enjoyed the music and managed to pull it off in front of a generous audience of parents/friends.
