[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Is it possible to just take symphonic band for second semester?[/quote]

I think that would have to be a discussion with the band director and counselor. In theory, I don't see why not. [b]You'd probably need to take a "flex" aka open period or study hall in Fall. Unless there is some one semester elective offered in the same time slot as band.[/b][/quote]

This part is more challenging than doing marching band. There are extremely few semester courses, and they would have to be the same class period as symphonic band or your schedule won't work. Also, not all the high schools grant "flex" or "open period." Maybe the different high schools vary in their cooperation and flexibility; but ours was not flexible when one of our children had to fill-in a second semester class because part 2 of their fall semester elective was cancelled. All of the few semester electives were full except for one (which would have been an absolute disaster for our kid) and they would not work with us to even develop an independent study (despite it being on the books).
