<p>I also really enjoy playing my instrument for various occasions, I have played in the football marching band, NYS virtuosi band and the graduation band. When I apply to colleges I may want to tryout for the marching band.</p>

<p>Colleges of Interest:
Penn State (1st choice)
UMich
Boston University
Indiana U
U of Wisconsin
George Washington U
U of Florida
U of Miami
Ohio State U</p>

<p>I would say you're a shoe-in for Penn State. Are you gonna play football for Joe Pa? LOL</p>

<p>I'd say about 50/50 for Wisconsin. Get the ACT higher and you're golden at every school on this list, except for Michigan, which will be a reach unless you pull off a 30+.</p>
