How much does being valedictorian help?

<p>Personally, I think it is worth it if band is one of your major ECs. The difference between 1 and 5 is not THAT great, while the difference in perceived committment between 3 years and 4 years of band is bigger, especially if you are planning on writing about band in an essay or something. Now, if you are also a state competitor in a sport or have lots of outside involvement that shows a passion, it could be fine to drop band. Don't drop out if band is your passion.</p>

<p>I think overall, I would recommend that you stay in band.</p>
