Band as a class?

Colleges like to see students with a passion. They also like to see students with leadership positions. Band allows you to exhibit both a passion, and provides an opportunity to serve in leadership positions.

At our school about 75% of the top kids are in some sort of music ensemble (band, orchestra, chorus). Being in band will also allow you to continue to win awards like being in all county/state band and orchestra. Those are all awards that you can put on your college resume.

Plus-life would be boring if all you ever did was take academic classes.
