Turns out than DH's school actually has a very cool offering: the band class! All kids in that class get to try out band instruments and then have lessons in their instrument for two years and form their own mini band until they can join the regular school band in 7th. Drums are offered - that's a long term dream of his. However, when I asked DH who might in in charge of the band program, turns out it might be the music teacher he's not speaking to any more ever since they clashed over exam vs rehearsal schedules. Ugh. I can just see that teacher insisting DS learn euphonium just to spite DH.
DH has a whole list of questions of his phone which he will hopefully remember to ask of his middle school colleagues (he teaches mainly high school).
