[quote=Anonymous][quote] Once you have a year of curricular band at TJ, you can March, even if you take a year off of band class. [/quote] I was also going to mention this. Another nice perk is that if your child is in curricular band, they are NOT required to be in the marching band. At some FCPS high schools, you have to do marching band to enroll in curricular band. The truth is all HS in this area take a lot of work if your kid is planning to take advanced level STEM and language arts classes. At TJ they are required to take that load vs it being voluntary. The other thing to consider is the commute. We are fortunate that we are not that far from the school, so my kid almost never takes the bus. But for kids who rely on the bus, it adds a tremendous amount of time to an already long day. A large proportion of the kids in marching band live in Loudon and Prince William counties. I am amazed at their dedication, and that of their parents, to make the TJ experience happen.[/quote]
