Music might be the only thing that's even within a quantum level of the same intensity as sports, for a few kids. One Seattle high school used to have an orchestra and jazz band that was taken as seriously as sports, by quite a few of the participants (e.g. high schooler with a $10,000 flute) but the district has largely dismantled advanced learning which also has degraded the feed of students into that program. Basically the opposite of what's happening in sports.

Yeah, and every time they cut the budget music is the fist thing to go. While more and more money goes to sports.
