The violinists, dressed elegantly in black with splashes of red and white, focused intently on the delicacy of their work. A small audience of museum-goers stood and perched on folding stools nearby, while others calmly perused the surrounding artwork. Even gallery security guards stretched their beats slightly to watch the performance. In adjoining rooms, the airborne cadences of concertos reached statues, portraits, vases, and painted panels...

Jeremy Sackler, a student at Boca Raton High School, also in Palm Beach County, started the Facebook group People Who Think the 'Saggy Pants' Law Is Ridiculous in response to Riviera Beach's law - although it has only half the membership of the Girls Against Saggy Pants group, or GASP. "It is a total violation of the First Amendment," Sackler told TIME in a Facebook message.
