[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]At Robinson, kids playing in concert 3 or above are required to participate in marching band. Is this the norm? My kid would rather do a fall club sport, but doing both would be impossible. It just doesn’t seem fair.[/quote]
Unless things are changing for next year, Concert 3 does not require marching band participation. Just the higher bands. [/quote]

OP here. I probably confused this. My kid is in Advanced Band now and required to do MB. They have done MB for a few years now.I was just trying to gauge whether this is the standard. Not trying to put down MB, and theydo like it, but they’d rather do something different next year.[/quote]

I went to a Fairfax county high school in the 90s and was first chair of my instrument in the top band. I loved band. I truly disliked marching band. I was very, very interested in playing my sport senior year in the fall instead of marching yet again, so I did. The band director kicked me out of band entirely. [/quote]

That makes sense.  No class is a la carte.  Not electives, not core classes.[/quote]
