Re: need guys\' opinions
you're right huntin girl. there is no reason why he shouldn't be able to join the band, that should be HIS choice, not his dad's. i was in the two school bands when i was in high school, it was a blast, and a great experience. there was the jazz band and the blues guys. my parents encouraged me the whole time. its great for your son to find something he would enjoy doing, and i definetly think it should be his choice to join or not. the best thing for you to do is talk to your husband and try to make him realize that your son has found something that he would be interested in doing, and tell him that it would be better to encourage him, rather than discourage him. it is responsibility, your son has to realize it, but if his grades are good, and he's apt to do it, then theres no reason why he shouldnt be able to. Good Luck
