What happens?

My opinion would still be the same. If they are let out of class for the purpose of standing outside to watch, and they are accompanied outside by their teachers, the school has the right to make sure they follow school rules.

If they are just dismissed early on that day and are free to do as they please, then they are no longer under the school's authority and should be able to do as they wish.
