Zero chance if you don't try! 100% chance you will have the time of your life trying, whether or not you make it big! Always, always, always, go for your dreams!!!

I think it's a very low chance. But my brother had a band not to long ago, and they got pretty famous around Pittsburgh, alot of people knew who they were and they became friends with other popular local bands. But, college came in the way of that, ha. Anyways, even if you were thinking of starting a band [ which I assume ] you should still at least try if you're determined enough and make enough starting out concerts and open for bands and make yourself known and try and get a record out there. Making a myspace and adding other bands would also help. Anyways, I hope I helped.

1/1000000. I'd assume that you guys would have a better chance depending on how hard you worked at acheiving your dreams. They don't just simply come true. Go out there, awe some people, gain some fans, post up flyers, organise some shows, try your best. If you give it your all and you still aren't entirely "famous" then at least you can say you gave it your all.

I don't have any real statistics for you.

I would guess that it isn't a very big percentage
that you all as a band would go on to fame and fortune. Not that it isn't possible, just not likely.

The reason is that as you get older priorities do change. You'll find yourself in a band with 2 types of people. The first are the ones with stars in their eyes. They want to be a rock star! And then you will have others who just want to play for fun. They have fun playing but they don't have the courage, or maybe they just don't have that urge to do the work no matter what.

If you want to be in a band and you want to make it your life's work, you will have to one day break away from those doing it just for fun.

That's why I believe that the percentage of high schoolers in a garage band making it to the big time are pretty low. :)
