<p>I wouldn't mind being in an orchestra in college. I enjoy playing and no one is forcing me to, but a college with a strong orchestra is more like a perk than a requirment for me in my college search. I'm hoping that one of the colleges I'm looking at will need a bassoon player and may offer me some kind of scholarship. Yes, my list would be the same because I didn't really choose this list with anything music related in mind. So basically, it is my choice. :)</p>
<p>Gotcha. :) Just checking!</p>
<p>My son plays bassoon (made all state and even played the contra bassoon once!).</p>
<p>Everyone said that this would bring in tons of scholarships but it didn't seem to matter much to the colleges he applied to. He did get a music scholarship at University of Redlands (CA).</p>
<p>Good luck to you!</p>
