The Bryan Station High School Marching Band in Lexington, Kentucky will not be opening a February 22nd concert for rapper Ludacris as originally scheduled, that’s the word from a concert promoter.

The kids got the news during a dedication ceremony for the new building of their high school:

We’re not trying to judge Ludacris or anything like that,” said Fayette Schools Superintendent Stu Silberman. “We’re trying to make a decision based on what we believe is best for our kids.”

Students will instead be opening for another rap act.

Luda’s managers, One Accord Marketing, will still donate ten thousand dollars in new instruments to Bryan Station every time one of their artists performs in the Lexington area.
