Why take band when you could be concentrating your time and efforts on more STEM subjects? Read this Washington Post article about the skills needed to succeed in the workplace. Very ironic that it comes from Google since Sergey Brin is an alumnus. Enjoy and keep doing the thing you love like music, drama, art, foreign language, and sports. All the tops skills Google is looking for come from those things.
