Should I stay in the higher course I got into or drop it to stay with my friend
Hi, I am in high school and play an instrument, at my school we have regular and honors band which is considered a valid honors class. to get into honors band you have to audition. me and my friend that both play the same instrument wanted to try out together for honors band next school year. we play a not super popular instrument in our school so there were not alot of other people trying out for it. We both summited our auditions and were good. Since we both are good friends and also don’t really know anyone els in band, and I struggle to make new friends we decided that if one of us did not get in the other would drop out so that we could be in the same band together. we where told that our teacher wanted 2 of our instruments in band at this point so if we dropped there would still be one. fast forward to yesterday we get the results back and I got in and she did not also I am the only one of my instrument who got in. I haven’t talked to my friend in person yet but over text she said that I could stay If i wanted to or drop out to be with her but Im not sure if she would actually want me to stay. ill find that out when we talk in person hopefully. The problem is I expected us both to get in so I was super exited for it, it boosts your grade, we get harder pieces, and we get to do more cool things with the band. I never thought she or I would not get in together. now that It happened I’m not sure what to do, I feel like the right thing to do is to drop out because thats what I said I would do and Im also afraid I wont have any friends in the other class. But unfortunately I feel I would be really sad to drop out because I was looking forward to it and also Im not the “book smart” smartest student so its the only honors class I could get into. I also don’t even know how to drop out without directly talking to my teacher and I’m scared about how he would take me dropping out of the band he just put together because I’m the only one of my instrument. Writing this all down I feel like the right thing to do is drop out but Ig i just need other peoples perspectives on it. Ik it sounds like a very small problem but it will effect my band for the rest of high-school which to me is a big part of my life. anyway Im stuck so can anyone give me advice on if I should go back to regular band or not?
