First of all, you are not even in middle school yet, chill out! You don't have to decide what career and college you want to go to yet. Middle school is supposed to be a time where you figure out who you are so you can persue it in high school and get ready for life. It's not a time to stress out. You have an entire life ahead of you to take band, art, and spanish 3,4 and 5! I would suggest taking spanish as your first choice because you may need it for a high school credit and it is easier to get out of the way. And as far as choosing between band and spanish, I'd say go with your gut feeling. But I must say that children who learn music do better in math, and there usually are alot more people who take band so you have a better chance of making new friends in Middle school. And the people I know who stayed in band were very popular in middle school (if that matters to you). Again, go with your gut feeling.
