A few weeks ago, I auditioned for Harmonia (a singing group for my school other than choir) and I made it in (yay!) Just today, I recieved a paper in third period that contained information and a permission slip for the school's knowledge bowl academic team. My teacher for Harmonia commented on another student who was chosen to be 'knowledgeable' and the older boys took him outside and put on a scene for the rest of us making sounds that sounded like they were beating him up. My dad says that academic leagues are very prestigious and colleges look for these type of things. Both activities rehearse/practice during Advisory (Homeroom.)
What do you think I should do?

This is a decision only you can make. It's obvious you have both academic and artistic talents. You need to determine which is more important and pursue the goal you choose. Of course, being in the challenge bowl will mean a lot to college administrators when they choose students to accept. But if your first love is music, it won't be as important. Think long and hard about this before you reach a decision.

You need to do what would be more enjoyable for you. You seem very excited to have made the singing group. You will gain knowledge in time, trust me. This singing group may be an experience that will stay with you for the rest of your life. I sang in chorus in high school, and I am currently attending law school. The thing is, I remember more about my chorus experience than I do about my whole high school career. I loved it! I won't do much singing as a lawyer, but I don't think I'll be attending any knowledge bowls either. Just something to think about.
