The fact that the school knew of this activity, and had put an official stop to it in the past, is enough grounds for a lawsuit that the school did NOTHING to stop this event."
They originally held it at the school. It was going out of control, so they BANNED it. Once it moves off campus that's not their jurisdiction...aside from alerting the police the weekend it happens (which they do), theres nothing else they can do!

I think a lawyer will easily sway a jury on this one. Since the school was historically involved, saw the dangers, and then "banned" the event, yet they KNEW it still continued, is grounds for a lawsuit. Even though they tried to alert police, an attorney can still say it didn't go far enough.
Didn't the school issue threats of punishment? Is there any record of them actually following through on the threat for anyone since this event went underground? The school still knew it happened...that is the key.
A lawyer will use the video in front of the jury. The emotional shock of seeing children (how the jury will see them) throw human waste, punches, and baseball bat swings will be daming emotional testimony...
