I'm an 8th grader and Im in both band and football. I start on O-line at left guard and am the best on the team (O-line wise). Coaches are demanding more and more commitment to the team and I don't want to let them down. In band I'm 1st chair trombone out of 8th and 9th grade. My band director asked me to be in Jazz-band, marching band, and a brass quintet plus regular band. I want to be in all of them but its becoming overwhelming for me. I love band and football more than the average person. Any advice would help! Thanks in advance.I'm an 8th grader and Im in both band and football.

Both will do you very well in life, but football will keep you fit. My vote is football, but its up to you.
