@gouf78 I couldn’t agree more about chorus. It has been life changing for him! I know you don’t have to be a soloist but of course I think he’d like to get these parts, and would like to try for acapella and the like. He loves being the manager currently of his small middle school acapella. Overall, I agree on letting him just do these electives. I think my husband and I only have some concerns about him not exploring other things. This is part of his personality not just at school. It’s not about college admissions, it’s about broadening horizons. For instance, he could do one chorus, and have time for other electives, but wants to do two. I think freshman year it’s fine, but I’m still concerned that he might not try at least another thing, whatever that might be.
