This issue should have been dealt with before all the practices not with only one practice to go.

I practiced pretty hard for this, I think it's actually about murder and not suicide, it's fun to sing, and people won't understand the message anyway because it makes no sense. We've been practicing a lot and we all know it and I feel like it's pretty unfair to cancel it at this point. Thanks

It is widely accepted as one of the greatest pieces of all time, and the school's overly sensitive censorship policies should not restrict the people attending the dinner from listening to such a phenomenal song. An overwhelming majority of the attendees would likely prefer this song to whatever other 'less graphic' songs that the administration may be considering playing instead.

Bohemian Rhapsody is a legendary piece of art from the late 70's. This song tells a story about a young man who overcomes depression. He rises above his challenges, and at the end of the song is changed. This song isn't meant to dwell on suicide. It is meant to empower young people. The message is that everyone can overcome bad times. Furthermore, this song isn't solely about its lyrics. It's composition and collaboration is outstanding, and it would be incredible if the Frisch performance ensemble could pull it off with the Frisch choir. Therefore, I believe that Bohemian Rhapsody should be allowed to be played at the dinner. I'm sure it will be immensely applauded. Thank you.

Let them sing! Music is for sharing and love - and if they've been practicing they should be able to share the music with their community

Bohemian Rhapsody is a song about a man convicted of murder who is to poor to pay for an attorney to stand for him in court. It is not about suicide, and thinking this means you aren't looking at the song as a whole while interpreting it. Furthermore, it is one of the most well-known, beloved songs of all time and it would be a shame if the musicians and singers of Frisch would not have the opportunity to sing this brilliant piece of music created by the geniuses known to all as Queen. Furthermore, if the school REALLY had a problem with this song, that should have been dealt with much earlier on when we started the project (besides the fact that it was originally APPROVED), and the school should not be telling us NOW that we cant perform it, when the time and effort to arrange and practice this song has already been put in. This is not the first time that this issue, of the school not filtering artistic content early enough, has come up and if the school even remotely cares about its students and faculty who put in the time and effort into said projects, it should start taking these things much more seriously.
