“Profane Lyrics” Prevents High School Band From Opening For Ludacris
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.

Look, I’m not saying that his lyrics are exactly something I approve of, but it sucks that we got our hopes up only to have them shot right back down. It made us feel special and like we were worth something to be asked to open for someone as big as Luda. “Another rap artist” just isn’t going to cut it for me because it’s going to end up being some no-name artist this time….it won’t matter as much to people.
