<p>So I have a friend who's debating whether or not to do marching band this year. He's going to be a senior, and this would be his third year doing it. His instructor has informed him that if he decides to participate, he will be promoted to the highest level of band available at our school. He would also be placed in the second chair position for his instrument (out of 3). It lasts a month in the summer and two months into the school year. </p>
<p>He argues that mb would be too time consuming and would detrimentally effect his grades. The ec activity ends at 6:30 each weekday and takes up all of Saturday. I have countered that continuation would show dedication and passion.</p>
<p>On a somewhat unrelated note, he is probably going to take a position at a local Music & Arts store.</p>
<p>Thoughts?</p>
