I think the frequent 9/11 tributes in the NYC area are appropriate and should continue.

Though my opinion on this may appear callous, I believe that overstimulation and overexpose of 9/11 tributes to the rest of the country (nearly daily - certainly weekly) have the danger themselves of creating callousness towards the event and its meaning. Very soon, I think we should move 9/11 ceremonies over with remembrances of other serious sacrifices and incredible heroism remembered on Veterans Day and Memorial Day.

Surely your local high school band had patriotic music available. My guess is that the band director already felt that his students had enough events scheduled, and that was the easiest way to beg off of the event.
