<p>I was wondering whether I should double science or continue marching band.
I've been in marching band for 2 years so far.</p>
<p>Option A
Drop band, double science junior and senior year, take PE senior year to finish credit. Participate in band outside of school hours.
Option B
Keep band, double science senior year only, self study junior year.</p>
<p>Looking at top UCs, MIT, CMU, Harvey Mudd, other top math/science/technology schools.</p>
<p>I would stick with marching band. It’s great to have 4 years of an EC on a college app–plus it’s a great social aspect of high school.</p>
<p>Do you love marching band? If so, then I think you should stay in it. If not, then quit. I quit marching band this year because I wanted to take more classes and band took up SO much time xD.</p>
<p>I do like marching band, but is taking 2 sciences better than it?</p>
<p>If your other classes are basket weaving, tanning, pizza tossing, and pig Latin, then keep the two sciences.</p>
<p>If you already have a full schedule of challenging classes, stay in the band.</p>
<p>Are there schools that recruit band members?</p>
<p>My son wanted more science, but also wanted to stay in marching band. He took an on line physics course through BYU, and got high school credit for it.</p>
<p>He just started at Berkeley last week.</p>
