Resident: Where is the Patriotism at BRHS?

One resident noticed a lack of any American flag in the high school at a recent concert.

To the Editor:

When I attended the Raritan Valley Symphonic Band Concert at , "The Star Spangled Banner" was listed as the first selection on the program.  

They did not play it, and the conductor said he had omitted it.

There was not a United States of America flag anywhere in our high school auditorium. There were no patriotic selections played. 

I am a 47-year resident and taxpayer of Bridgewater, and I am very disappointed and would like an answer for this lack of patriotism.
