I apologize but I don't even really know how to phrase these questions.
S23 is only a freshman but as we all know, high school course and activity selection is somewhat important when it comes to college choice and acceptance.
He is the kid who wants to do it all and I know that realistically is not possible. Currently he participates in football, ski racing, school musical, track, band and choir. I don't see him quitting any of those in high school. He plays the flute and is quite good. He enjoys learning a bit of guitar as well. He is a solid singer but I wouldn't say amazing (he could use some voice lessons). He's in his 5th year of doing the school musical and 3 of those years he had either a major or starring role so he holds his own.
As of right now, he's thinking he would like to play at a D3/NAIA college for football but also be able to do something with music. He would prefer to double major with something business/engineering or something. He thinks he would like music production or being in the music business perhaps. I could see him doing local theater or something to continue to grow that interest versus doing theater in college.
He plans on continuing with band and choir throughout high school which gives him very few other elective options. He plans on taking the only AP music class in our school which is AP music theory for 1 semester. He is auditioning soon so he will see if he is moved up a level in band or choir (2 levels for boys in choir, 3 levels for band-hes level 1 now in both as a freshman which is typical for our school).
The mom in me wants to guide him and be sure hes realistic in his plans. Im guessing it will be impossible to do football and music in college right? Are there schools that are great with a double major with something like business/music or something? Sorry this is all over the place but I'm the more science person and am pretty clueless to the arts options in college.
