Yeah, he played trumpet in his elemenary/middle school band for 3 or 4 years. He enjoyed it, more socially than anything else.Get your son started on music-making early too. Good for the brain cells, or something. Reminds me, I'd love to try blowing into a clarinet sometime to see if I remember anything from band days. Every time I hear one in a song, it makes me want to play.
He's starting high school this year and he's decided to drop band/music to pursue the engineering electives and robotics club that they have there. I can't really fault him for that decision.
