I’ll give a different perspective. Colleges know that some kids do band, chorus, art etc to fulfill a school requirement but not because it is a passion. At our high school there is just band so you have to do marching and concert band. It was the same where I went to school in a different state. I loved band until high school when I found I hated marching band and band was two periods a day. There was also practice T/Th 6 to 10pm, Fridays practice or football game and weekends we had practice 9 to 5 or competitions. I only did it one year. I would have stayed in a 1 period a day concert band.

Basically band can look great to colleges but if you replace it with good classes and activities leaving band will not hurt you.
