What are some benefits of taking band in high school?

Does it look good on your transcript?
Tip for best answer: M$0.25
Separate topics with commas, or by pressing return. Use the delete or backspace key to edit or remove existing topics.

You can leave an optional "tip" with Mahalo's virtual currency, Mahalo Dollars. If you are asking a difficult question that might require some research, or if you'd like a wide variety of feedback, a higher tip often leads to more answers to your question.

There are dozens of benefits to taking band in high school. These are some of the major perks:

It gives you a credit or partial credit towards graduation.

It helps you make friends and have a more active social life.

It gets you into all the football games for free.

It helps you learn Math and English easier.

It gives you the invaluable opportunity to perform in front of multiple audiences. Getting comfortable with performing in front of a crowd will help you throughout your life.

It gives you a chance to travel around your state and the country.

It looks wonderful on your transcript not only as a credit class but also as a time intensive extracurricular activity. Even if you don’t study music in college, having taken band will look attractive to any prospective college. It shows that you took an interest in your school and were able to maintain your grades while taking an extracurricular activity.

First of all, band -- as well as chorus and orchestra -- is a "co-curricular" class, a class for which responsibilities carry over into after-school events such as concerts.
