There is really no way around it besides to pick a music group that maybe only 5% of the community likes, which I hope they would never do. Its not like they are playing hollywood undead or something like that

Film makers are free to produce what they hope will make money. Sometimes the big sellers depict robot violence, though I wouldn't expect FIRST to hold a showing of such a film. FIRST is something kids can get involved in that will enrich their lives and build a brighter future. From what I see of the performing artists, their lyrics do not jive with the FIRST culture. I take no issue if you are attracted to that type of music, I would simply ask FIRST picks something a bit more family friendly. This is a rather moot point anyway, as it is an optional concert.
