Missouri State University Chorale to perform at Donald Trumps inauguration

http://www.kansascity.com/news/local/article123212969.html#storylink=cpy

The Missouri State University Chorale will perform a newly commissioned piece titled “Now We Belong,” according to LaBarr’s father, Ed LaBarr.

The group was chosen to perform Jan. 20 in Washington, D.C., by the Joint Congressional Committee on Inaugural Ceremonies.

The committee is led by U.S. Sen. Roy Blunt of Missouri.

“I’m very proud to announce that MSU’s Chorale will represent the university and the state of Missouri on the national stage at the 58th Presidential inauguration,” Blunt said in announcing the honor. “I have no doubt that the millions of Americans watching the ceremony will be as impressed with these incredibly talented students as all of us who have had the opportunity to hear them perform.”

I'd be encouraging him not to attend.

"Now We Belong"...I'm guessing that's a love song to the racist element, because it sure doesn't cover anyone else.

Or, perhaps a sizeable donation to the music department.

Oh, well, at least they won't give the money to the football team.
