WHY IS CONTINUING IN BAND A GREAT IDEA?

- Band students on average receive higher scores on the SAT and ACT.
- More band students receive scholarships & awards than any other group.
- It enhances teamwork skills in a disciplined environment.
WHY IS CONTINUING

HOW DO UNIVERSITY ADMISSIONS VIEW BAND?

- They view music as a foreign language that you perform confidently.
- It is a sign of your integrity, time management, and commitment.
- Universities do not want to see students who bounce around from elective class to elective
class; never really devoting themselves to a single interest for their high school career.
SHOWING INVOLVEMENT IN CAMPUS LIFE.
- You invest yourself in campus life while showing loyalty and school spirit.
- Universities like USC and Michigan have a very loyal school spirit atmosphere where alumni
are still active in university life by donating money, attending performances, and sporting events.
- Being in band at the high school level builds that spirit of loyalty to the school.
DEMONSTRATING COMMITMENT & DEDICATION!
- It’s waking up early so you can do an extra rehearsal.
- It’s staying after school to practice.
- It’s rehearsing or going to competitions on a Saturday.
- It’s taking your homework with you to football games or competitions.
- This is the exact commitment & dedication that universities want to see!
OTHER THINGS YOU SHOULD KNOW:
- 66% of all music majors applying to medical school are accepted.
- There are 5x as many scholarships for academics than sports.
- Universities view music students academically above average.
- A survey of Fortune 500 CEOs, 60% of CEOs had a music background.
NO MATTER THE HIGH SCHOOL, JUST JOIN BAND!
- Students are always able to be in band all 4 years & take all the necessary AP classes for college.
- Top students around the nation manage to do it, that means you can too.
