When I was at school and was invovled with the County Orchestras etc, i used to miss one day a month of school for rehearsal and one week a year for a residential trip. My school didn't really care because even with these absences I was still one of the best attendees and they were proud to have someone who was actually vaguely good at something.
However, over schools in the county used to moan to the County Music Service about the days off. The Music Services text book response was that they felt that the kids who were good enough to play at County level were more often than not the higher achievers at school and so could probably afford to miss one day a month.
Do you agree with this statement? Is it a good argument? Are the brighter kids more often than not the most talented musically??
