A Texas high school has apologized after the school band waved a Nazi flag during a performance on Friday, the start of the Jewish New Year holiday of Rosh Hashana. âWe had an error in judgment,â band director Charles Grissom told the Dallas Morning News.

DURING A HALF-TIME show, a student from Paris High School went running across the field waving a Nazi flag. At the time, the Blue Blazes band was playing the composition by Franz Joseph Haydn that eventually became known as âDeutschland Uber Alles.â Grissom said it was part of a show entitled âVisions of World War Two,â in which the flags and music were intended to represent the warring nations. The director said the musicians didnât anticipate the reaction of the crowd at Hillcrest High School. âWe were booed,â he told the newspaper on Monday. âWe had things thrown at us. We were cursed.â
