Rememberance Day... and what it should mean

[satriani]

It's funny how we can go to Booth and have a fairly decent assembly yet we go back to Bishops and they have a standing ovation for "Let it Be", then applauding after "O Canada".... Maybe I'm old fashioned but the Rememberance Day Assembly is for Remember FALLEN soliders who fight for our freedom?? Not to have a laugh and a good time with our

I agree, somewhat.... but wow to the bitterness....

[magsie]

no, i totally agree. i nearly shit myself when people applauded the anthem. and the way people were just talking during the songs and stuff; it was really disrespectful. usually it wouldn't bother me, but this is an occassion when respect and maturity is a must.

I'm just glad that we had no special guests or invited war veterans to the assembly. I just felt that it was a joke to some. Not all, but some.

You should've seen Tilley's face when they applauded "O Canada" he was just like "wtf?" And I can't blame him at all for it.

I agree... and yes the sad thing is that Booth (yes... Booth) had a better assembly than ours... it was more like a teacher talent show... argh... and no veteran!

Nice point.. a teacher talent show. Yes the songs were war inspired. But no one in that auditorium thought about that. They were thinking, I liked the Guns N' Roses version better, or Let It Be, that was by that group my parents like.

We're going to Skeet High...

I think some of their ideas were good, liek the slideshows and stuff, but it should have been worked into a traditionnel rememberance day assembly.... I just want to say one thing on the subject of Booth's assembly - you don't need to get EVERYBODY to "say a few words"
