<p>Friartown: I know that the USMMA gives bonus WCS points to candidates who have band potential (they have a cadet band). Your clarinet experience would be a big plus there. At USMA, there is a professional Army band. Cadets only play in the spirit band (supports football games etc.) so it is not really a big plus as far as admissions goes. It will however be counted as an EC activity.</p>
