<p>Are there any senior marching band members here? My parents are worried that I won't have enough time to balance ECs (especially marching band from July to November) with college apps. Any advice or stories you'd like to give or tell? Thanks :3</p>
<p>I did perfectly fine marching as a senior (with a fairly rigorous courseload, applying to by far the most colleges in my school (over 20) and other ECs) and srsly, if you can pull it off junior, senior year shouldn’t be much different depending on your schedule. The beginning of the year is usually when things are only picking up so it’s easier in that regard. And if you really want to do it (it’s the best senior year so you don’t want to miss out) you’ll find your way to manage.</p>
<p>Note: My band isn’t that intense but we had 3-5 practice every day after school; idk how intense your schedule will be though so my experience doesn’t necessarily apply.</p>
