Well, i can't say i've ever gone without being involved. I was in many orchestras and bands throughout my school days and Actually being in the orchestra is amazing...high or not (usually not at that point in my life).

Definitely go. It's one of those things that needs support from today's youth.

If you ever get the chance go see a field show/drum corp show/marching band competition. Dunno where you are at, but the carrier dome in syracuse NY has a few bad ass shows every year.

Keep an eye out for the Madison Scouts or the Top Secret drum corp coming near you. you will NOT be disappointed.
