<p>hey i'm in my school's jazz band that meets 7am everyday. our conductor told us 2 options:</p>
<p>1) we could make it a .5 credit to go on our transcript
or
2) make it an extracurricular activity</p>
<p>which is better?</p>
<p>I'm already in the wind ensemble, the premier group of the school, and i'm principal trombone in both groups.</p>
<p>Assuming you don't need that extra half-credit to graduate, make it an EC, since it is something you do outside of school hours.</p>
<p>I don't think it would matter much, but I would recommend that you get it onto your transcript. You obviously have "music" as one of your EC's. When you list the activities within your EC, you would include wind ensemble and and jazz band. Don't think of an EC as meaning a club. An EC is an interest where you have shown long-term commitment and "passion".</p>
