Evolution shirts hit wrong note with parents

Dress shirts

Pictue of shirt here.

T-shirts worn by the Smith-Cotton High School band have evolved into controversy among parents.

The shirts, which were designed to promote the band’s fall program, are light gray and feature an image of a monkey progressing through stages and eventually emerging as a man. Each figure holds a brass instrument. Several instruments decorate the background and the words “Smith-Cotton High School Tiger Pride Marching Band” and “Brass Evolutions 2009” are emblazoned above and below the image.

Assistant Band Director Brian Kloppenburg said the shirts were designed by him, Band Director Jordan Summers and Main Street Logo. Kloppenburg said the shirts were intended to portray how brass instruments have evolved in music from the 1960s to modern day. Summers said they chose the evolution of man because it was “recognizable.” The playlist of songs the band is slated to perform revolve around the theme “Brass Evolutions.”

The band debuted the T-shirts when it marched in the Missouri State Fair parade. Summers said he was surprised when he received a direct complaint after the parade.

While the shirts don’t directly violate the district’s dress code, Assistant Superintendent Brad Pollitt said complaints by parents made him take action.

“I made the decision to have the band members turn the shirts in after several concerned parents brought the shirts to my attention,” Pollitt said.

Pollitt said the district is required by law to remain neutral where religion is concerned.

“If the shirts had said ‘Brass Resurrections’ and had a picture of Jesus on the cross, we would have done the same thing,” he said.

Band parent Sherry Melby, who is a teacher in the district, stands behind Pollitt’s decision. Melby said she associated the image on the T-shirt with Charles Darwin’s theory of evolution.

“I was disappointed with the image on the shirt.” Melby said. “I don’t think evolution should be associated with our school.”

Parent Alena Hoeffling said she is infuriated with administration’s decision to pull the attire.

“Whatever happened to the separation of church and state,” she said.

Hoeffling said she is both a scientific person and a practicing Catholic and enjoyed the “play on words.”

“I thought it was funny,” she said. “I didn’t think much of it.”

However, the T-shirt’s imagery became a hot topic at a recent TIMPO (band booster) meeting. Hoeffling said that’s where she learned the evolution T-shirts were causing a stir.

“Parents were informed the shirts had to be turned in,” Hoeffling said. “I couldn’t believe it.”

Hoeffling said she enrolled her children in public school so they could have choices.

“If I wanted my children to be sheltered, I would have enrolled them in private school,” she said.

On Friday afternoon after practice, band members piled the shirts on a table. While most were apathetic about the shirts, others felt the drama surrounding the shirts was unwarranted.

“It’s not like we are saying God is bad,” sophomore band member Denyel Luke said. “We aren’t promoting evolution.”

High School junior Adam Tilley said he understood why the shirts were repossessed.

“I can see where the parents are coming from,” he said. “Evolution has always been controversial.” The 17-year-old trombone player said his parents “didn’t care” about the shirt because it was the “name of the band’s show.”

Senior Drum Major Mike Howard said he was disappointed when he had to return the shirt.

“I liked the shirt because it was unique,” Howard said. “The theory of evolution never even crossed my mind.”

While Howard was discouraged when he wasn’t given a choice whether to wear the shirt, he said he wouldn’t want to offend anyone. “Our fans are the community,” he said.

Summers said a new T-shirt is currently in the design stages, but declined to comment on the image.

“It has to be approved first,” he said.

Pollitt said the district would now have to absorb the cost of the T-shirts — 0 — that would have been paid for by the band parents. Pollitt said an anonymous donor had originally planned to pay half the cost, but declined after the evolution image was placed on the shirts. However, the donor does plan to fund half the price of the new T-shirts.

Sedalia School District 200 Board of Education member Michael Stees said it was unfortunate the T-shirt design was misconceived and he hopes the band can just move forward.

“This is an exciting time for the band,” Stees said. “They don’t need any negativity.”

Pollitt said the band’s new shirts would be approved by the activities director and administration before being printed.

“We support whatever steps the school district has to take,” Summers said.

INTERVIEW OF A WRITER

Poet shirts

(The interview board of an advertising agency consisting of chairman and three members, awaits the entry of the next candidate. The interview is being held to select writers who will compose slogans, ads, technical write-ups etc. for products of client companies. Candidate Van Chan Travolta enters. He is a short, stout ,shining bald person)

Chairman (Smiling): “Welcome Mr. Three in One. I beg your pardon for deforming your name. Please don’t take it otherwise.”

(As VCT enters , he stoops and his right shoe hits the bolt of the automatic door and he loses his balance .Colliding with an adjacent almirah , he kneels on the ground and a heavy office file falls from atop  the almirah  on his shining bald head. Along with it , the file brings down an ink bottle which uncaps and ink splashes out of it , colouring VCT’s head. VCT manages to rise on his feet somehow and moves forward with determined steps as ink trickles down his arid top. He is clad in a red  ragged bush shirt and torn jeans and an unequally trimmed moustache on the  two sides of his wide nostrils provides a rare asymmetrical ugliness to his countenance.)

Chairman: “Going by the decorum of an interview Mr. VCT, didn’t you think it necessary to wear decent clothes?”

VCT: “Sorry Sir, but I believe intellectual people are like that only. My great grandfather , a contemporary of William Wordsworth ,  used to wear a torn coat , my grandfather , a friend of Edgar Allan Poe , always wore a severely mutilated pair of trousers , my father wears a cap with a hole…….”

Member1: “OK…Ok… hold on please. We understand that you have quite a patchy pedigree , frayed forefathers , a damaged descent and a tattered trend apart from intellectual inheritance.”

Chairman (interrupting): “Now let’s start with your name. It reminds me of Jon Bon Jovi , a star of the yester years. Your name also carries the same rhythmicity. How on earth did your parents stumble upon such a name?”

VCT:  “Well, first the rhythm thing.  My forefathers were all rhythmic people. They lived in a poetic milieu. They hated to stagnate and loved flowing freely. So it was naturality and spontaneity, motion and  emotion all along. Next, the Hollywood touch . My father had a great longing to write a script for stars like  John Travolta , Van Damme  and Jackie Chan. In fact he wrote a script named “Boozed Beggars” for them but the same was turned down by each of them. He chased them to every spot they went to shoot but alas! he never could fulfill his cherished dream. And thereafter he decided to pass on the legacy of chasing to me. Hence my  rhythmic , ambitious , freely flowing , Hollywood  name.”

Chairman: “Did you try writing a script for the stars contributing your name?”

VCT:” I wrote one for Jackie Chan ,”Snake in the Donkey’s Shadow” and Chan tried hard to do the acrobatics as per the demand of the script but he couldn’t and ultimately gave up. He requested me to come up with an easier script…..and ‘am grinding one….”

Member2: “Interesting .Quite interesting Mr. VCT. Having heard about your awesome ancestry the board now, is interested in knowing about some of your compositions. How experienced are you in the field of writing? Tell us what have you been writing recently?”

VCT: “Oh !  Yes Sir , Part of my style of entry was intentional , the purpose thereof was to conspicuously represent my arid top , because you must be knowing that the comb of experience is acquired only when one goes bald. My experience lies mainly in the field of educative articles. Few of my recently composed articles are “FIVE TIPS TO WEAR YOUR SPECTACLES”, “TOP THREE TIPS TO SIT ON A CHAIR”, “THREE TIPS TO DRINK A GLASS OF WATER …”

Member 3(interrupting): “How about FIVE TIPS TO DO NOTHING” ?

VCT: “Oh! great idea your majesty!”

Member 1: “Do you write poems , stories etc.?”

VCT: “O ! ya! Recently I wrote a story with  my one eyed daughter as the central character . What inspired me to write about her is her strange behaviour . The dents on my head are witness to that. If  I don’t accept any of her demands she might use any of her toys to print these dents on my head.”

Member1: “Toys ? I guess you wrote a kids’ story. Something like ‘Harry Potter’ ?”

VCT: “Scary Daughter.”

Chairman: “O, I see. It’s good that dents are a family matter in your case. Many writers get them as a gift from their audience. Anyway, let’s talk business now. See there?”

(Chairman points to an advertisement hung on the wall. It is about a suiting –shirting outlet. It reads “THE ULTIMATE  FITTINGS OF YOUR LIFE. YOU NEVER THINK OF GETTING OUT OF THEM”.)

Chairman: “This is an award winning slogan from our company. If you are selected you will have to write such slogans. O.K. with you?”

VCT: “fine sir.”

Chairman: “We have been asked to provide a slogan for a new brand of mattresses . Can you suggest?”

VCT: “Sure. THE ULTIMATE SLEEP OF YOUR LIFE. NEVER EVER YOU GET UP”

Chairman (Bursting in laughter): “Are you sure  this slogan will sell mattresses for the brand?”

VCT: “Of course sir . People will die on such mattresses … er…I mean .. for such mattresses.”

Member 2: “O.K. Will you like to mention any awards , laurels you won?”

VCT: “Yes! I was recently awarded the ‘FULL BOTTLE’ award for my path breaking novel ‘DRUNK DONKEYS’.”

Chairman: “And which organization did award you that?”

VCT: “BOTTOMS UP CLUB.”

Member2: “How different the earth would have been Mr. VCT, had you not been born?”

Chairman (Whispering in member2’s ears and having a suppressed laugh): “The earth would have been a little lighter, The day would have lasted a little longer and night would have been shorter, it would have rained heavily in the Sahara , the great poets wouldn’t have died…)”

VCT (Overhearing chairman’s voice): “The great poet era has begun again sir and you are interviewing the harbinger.”

Chairman: “Well Mr.VCT, we had a nice time interviewing you. We all wish you best of luck for your future endeavours. “

VCT: “Should I consider it as the end of my present endeavour?”

Chairman and all the members : “Ya, that’s it.”

(VCT turns a full circle and slowly departs. He pushes the door outwards and looks back a final time to bid good bye and  bows for courtesy sake. Just then his pen drops from his pocket and as he bends down to pick it , the automatic door bounces back and hits VCT hard on his head. He falls flat with a bang on the ground. Chairman and members rush to give a helping hand.)
