I just found out that if you have indicated anywhere on your application that you have played an instrument that you are automatically put in band. My son did band through 11th grade (never marching band), and definitely did not plan to continue his instrument. Will he be forced to play it for 4 years? I understand that this is not a college, it is a service academy and you have to do many things you may not want to do, but this seems unusual. Will this prevent participation in other opportunities where he actually has interest and talent?
