Does he have to stick with this to the end?

S quit band after 2 years so he could take the AP’s he wanted which conflicted with the class, he dropped soccer after 2 years to run cross-country instead, and quit NHS after the first year because it annoyed him. He went into greater depth with his job rather than do the community service required for NHS. He did just fine with admissions. But in that case (and it seems most cases cited above), the student chose to pursue an existing interest more in depth, he tried something new after quitting, and/or the student already had a lot on his plate and so the dropped activity was superfluous. My friend’s D is sick of band too and would like to drop it senior year, but that is her only real EC. I would not recommend dropping band in a case like that. It sounds like the OP’s S has other EC’s, so it’s not likely to be a problem.
