My DS would freak if I made him drop Orchestra. It is his down time during the day. He did the Algebra 1 in 7th grade, Honors Geometry with CTY over the summer and is now in Honors Algebra 2. He will take AP Stats in 9th and then on to Pre Cal. Cramming the Honors Geometry into about 9 weeks was a little much. If I had a do-over, I would have registered him mid way through 7th grade and given him 6 months to complete the class. He isn't a math lover, but he loves Science and wanted to accelerate in that area. He was motivated by the idea of getting a head of the curve in Math to push the Science faster.
It's always a tough choice when things are good as is.
