Is NOBODY wrong in the post ? POST : Hey everyone. I’m a uni freshman, and I’ve been trying to do some things I haven’t done in high school. I’m big into music, but I mostly did instrumental stuff, and I like to sing. I joined a singing group and it’s been a ton of fun. We’ve been learning a bunch of songs and things are going well. I also was recently offered to join a small group that’s putting on a concert performance of a show. The only issue is that the practices run at the same time.

This would basically mean I would be missing half of each practice for around a month. My main group practices twice a week though, so I wouldn’t be missing out all the time. It just so happens that the scheduling makes it run semi-close to our big end of semester concert, where we would be in full swing with rehearsals. Normally I wouldn’t have any doubts about doing both, but another kid from our group planned on doing the other show and then quit. He claimed that he didn’t want to be uncommitted to our main group by missing practice. He made it sound like I was a jerk for flaking on our group.

So am I an asshole for wanting to do two groups at once? People miss practices all the time for stuff, and I don’t think it would affect my knowledge or skill of our music in any way.
