Concert Band Vs. Other Classes

Pre-College Issues High School Life

<p>I'm going to prep school next year and I have a problem.</p>

<p>I want to try out for this band for high school students at the University of Michigan and if I get in, I'm not sure if I would still want to do it in school. The downside of the school band program is that it is only three days per week, so I'd pretty much have a two hour lunch. I'm sure it would be fun the first few weeks, but I don't want to just use it as a study hall or a social hour. </p>

<p>The advantages of not taking band is that I could take geometry and algebra II at the same time or take three foreign languages. </p>

<p>However, there is an arts requirement. Should I just take band my freshman year or wait to fulfill the requirement?</p>

<p>Thanks.</p>

<p>Take it, even if only to fufill the arts requirement. Band is too much fun to pass up. </p>

<p>What three foreign languages would you take?</p>

4

<p>French II, Spanish II, and Latin I or French II, Spanish II, and Chinese I.</p>

<p>I've been taking band since fifth grade and I really enjoyed it, but I could still be in a band it just wouldn't be during school.</p>
