[quote=Anonymous]My kid had to make a similar choice recently. It was a special performance, out of school, during the day. He has a great love of music, so willingly missed 2 of his mid day AP classes to make a band performance. He has As in the classes, but has to work very hard for them. Did it add stress? Absolutely. But he loves playing music and performing -- and was willing to do the extra work to make up for the class time lost, so went for it. If your kid made a different choice that's fine, as long as he talked to the band director so they could plan accordingly. My kid is a soloist, so would be greatly missed and it would be hard to cover but not impossible if the band had time to plan ahead. But if there are multiple of your kid's instrument, then likely not a big deal. Same thing happens at the end of the day for sports on occasion. It is just part of extracurriculars sometimes. But they're optional for the most part, right?[/quote]
