Megan Lee and Denise Craig reports:

Hundreds of Watertown High School students walked out of class Wednesday to protest the school board's decision to ban the Wind Symphony from performing "A Mother of Revolution!" at their upcoming spring concert. 

The school board voted 7-1 Tuesday night to prohibit the Wind Symphony from playing the instrumental piece, which has ties to the Stonewall movement and a transgender activist. The spring concert is scheduled for Monday. 

Students carrying signs gathered outside the school, chanting, "Let them play," in protest of the board's decision.
