Im going on my sophmore year in highschool, and i love everything about marching band. I am also on the debate team and preparing to take an AP class which my parents find as conflicts. My dad was this huge debate superstar in highschool, and now has decided to force me to quit marching band. I have told him in the past that i love marching band more than anything else that i do in school, and he doesnt care. I asked him to consider my happiness, and he said happiness isnt the key point in his decision making. Also i asked him why i cant do what i want to do, to which he replied "what you do in high school is not your decision." How do i get back in marching band? its the only thing i love about school and its where my friends are. (link)

Use your debating skills to clearly explain how much marching band means to you and why you think it would not conflict with debate team and AP class. As a sophmore in high school, you are still relatively young, but this does not mean your dad should be making every decision for you. By taking on lots of extra curricular activities you will be gaining valuable time management skills that will be extremely useful in college or later life. Also explain how happy marching band makes you. You could also consider talking to the leader of the band and explaining your situation. They are probably experienced with situations of people doing many activities and could give you some good advice.
Hope this helped in some way :)
