It comes as no surprise this happened in a small southern town. The brains of most of those kids in the marching band are still developing, and they lack the ability to put things in perspective. Come graduation day most will know better, and there will be an exodus of young people who go running for the cities as fast as they can. It is this exodus that keeps concentrating religion in small towns. Few people want to move to these towns, and those who do seldom stay. Thus, religious sentiments keep getting more conservative.
