[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Is this not APS policy? It's the same at WHS.
But students in Concert Band do not have to participate in marching band; so maybe do that instead? I know it's not as challenging; but clearly your child has other avenues for that. (It would also help out the concert band overall to have more of the advanced students in it)[/quote]

+1. I’m pretty sure this is the policy pretty much everywhere around here. But she can still do band— just not advanced band. [/quote]

I'm not sure what you mean by "around here" but in LCPS where we are, marching band is highly encouraged but not required. My DD does advanced band and has never been in marching band. She has another demanding (non-music related) extracurricular so marching band would be impossible. I will say though that most kids in her class ARE in marching band. If she were forced to do marching band, she would have to quit band altogether, which is I think why the teacher does not require it. [/quote]

"Around here" is Arlington.
You know we're self-centered in Arlington and obviously everything is about Arlington, right?!  :lol: [/quote]

Around here is Arlington and Fairfax, fwiw.  [/quote]
Fairfax City? 'cause Fairfax Co has its own DCUM page.

Fairfax County.  Y'all kicked them out of this forum but they didn't disappear.  Matching band is required for all but concert band there, just like here.[/quote]

DP here. Funny, we're in Loudoun but I read the FCPS forum because this forum is now only Arlington posters, which has way less in common with us than Fairfax does. [/quote]
