Band camp or no?

So, i'm gonna be a freshman next year, and I dunno if I should join marching band or no. Q_Q

i was googling if i should join. Some people said it was the best time of their life, and some said it was hell for them. I'm like, anti social-ish, and i'm afraid i'm gonna be a loner lulz. Honestly, I do want to join, but I'm afraid I might be like, screw this, and then drop out. $375 down the drain. >.>

I need to have a decision by July 1st.

Thanks in advance, guys. c:

Also, any piccolo owners out there? i need help picking a decent piccolo. o_o

Do it, fellow music kid! I'm in the regional arts program at my school for piano, and it's fun times.

@Reasonable:
I did play the piccolo this year for marching and concert, and I really enjoyed playing it. To be honest, I prefer playing the piccolo than the flute now.

Yeah, you should definitely join marching band. It's a great way to make a bunch of friends right as you get into high school, especially if you're a shy person.

I suggest you go because you get the chance to see saxophonists. They are so hot.

You should probably invest money in a flute instead of a piccolo.

[quote=DavidQuos]Yes, you'll benefit from it! I'm going to 9th grade next year as well and sadly I can't take the camp because I'm going to Korea.. But I would if I wasn't going!
Bassoonists ftw! [/quote]

Aw, that sucks. We could have been online marching band buddies?
What kind of benefits are there for joining? I kind of thought that i'd be exercising at least.
