[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]For my kids I would favor band over chorus or orchestra.  In elementary school it doesn't really matter, but in high school if your kid is still into it band offers a lot more opportunities.  Marching band is really fun, you play at football games, compete in tournaments, march in parades.  Chorus and orchestra don't offer all of those same opportunities.[/quote]

Oh and one other thing, if you play a wind instrument you can still be in orchestra as well, but string players would have to learn another instrument to be in band.[/quote]

This.  It is nice to have the option of whichever group suits your schedule.  Marching band is very fun, but at some schools it is a huge time commitment with away games too.

How are his teeth, do you anticipate braces or any major oral issues?  Are his canines and bicuspids in yet?  Strings and percussion are good ways to sidestep dental issues.

Chorus won't really set him up for serious musical theater, you would need private voice lessons for that (maybe plus basic dance).  [/quote]
