School Band? ~~~10points~~~?

-I'm going into the 9th grade. When I filled out this sheet for my classes, And I chose band. I got a letter during the summer saying I have to go to a band camp(the last 2 weeks of July and 1st week of august. Today was the first day. The music is challenging(which is fine) and I didn't know anyone there. It seemed like everybody was avoiding me. Everybody knew everybody and noone said a word to me.I even had to sit in the band room by myself and eat my lunch. I asked my parents to switch to something like art but they think that somehow im gonna get a scholarship (only every like 1-10 kids will get a scholarship from band) How can I convince them to let me switch?Band is really fun!! I felt the same way last year even though I was in it for 3 previous years. But 9th grade felt completely different. Just ask if you can hang with some of them or something that's what I did. It gets better. I promise. But if you really don't want to be in it talk to your counselors.Tell them that you really aren't liking band and practice and purposely sound really bad. They'll see you won't be getting a scholarship. If you're interested in art, Start making som eof your own and show them. If they see the quality of your work, they might be a little more willing to let you switch.
Please give it more t han one day! Tomorrow, go and speak to at least 5 people, you will make a friend. Do not give up. It is a new new experience, go with it. Hang in there. Do not quit. You will be so happy that you stayed. There are others who feel the same way you do. Look for another person who is along or who does not seem to know anyone. Speak to them. Sty the whole two weeks and then decide. You are giving up way too early!
They're trying to teach you not to be a quitter when things are tough. Give it more than a day. My guess is you might find you really like music, and you will make at least one friend before the week is out.



Give it time. Don't be a quitter. Make your parents happy.
