[quote=Anonymous]Growing up I started with orchestra (cello), added band (pep/concert/marching) (clarinet/bass clarinet), and added chorus. Its frowned upon to talk during rehearsals. If I had to pick one where socializing happened more often, it would be band. The dynamic was just different from the other two, but it could have been just different directors. Op, if your kid wants to continue playing piano, then they could choose orchestra or chorus a few years down the road because both groups have a place for the piano. Choosing the group and instrument should really be up to the kid though. If the kid chooses a wind or percussion instrument, I think it doesn't really matters at the elementary level which group they join. At the elementary level, the commitment is minimal for all three. Also at the elementary level, there are typically more girls in chorus, but the chorus will typically need boys to balance things out. So, this could be an opportunity for your DS to stand out more.

Something down the road to think about, but I would say that marching band has the most opportunity for chit chat and hanging out. I spent the most time with that group because there was more to practice, more games to attend, and more concerts to put on.[/quote]
