I know what you mean im in my schools band and mawe have have a marching band that every one in band is required to do(Im a drummer also) and we have 2 3 hour rehersals while the band only has 1 2 hour rehearsal plus the class time and we also play at home games and a competition every saturday until this saturday is that last. It wastes my time i'd like to not go but i fail one more class and i dont graduate on time so i dont go i fail so i have to go/ and the competitions take the whole day it gets annoying...
