Should I quit band for drama

I’m in my eighth grade year, and My band program is very elite, so if you quit you can’t come back. The last years have been fun but pretty boring. I have found a new-found passion for theater, and have been interested in joining drama. I am in choir, which I think I like more than band also. Also I like the drama teacher a lot more than the band ones. Last year and the year before I played trumpet, I was nothing special but I got 2 out of 4 chair most of the time. I play French horn now and band but I just switched to French horn and I suck. I also don't like the only other kid in the French horn section. So I was thinking of quitting band and practing my instruments on my own or getting private lessons, but I heard band gets a lot more fun in the future. I always have loved the idea of marching band, going to big competition, and maybe playing guitar in jazz band. The high school drama teacher likes me, so So far I've been in one high school musical which I LOVED, and been to a camp with the same teacher which I also loved. What should I do???

TL;DR should I quit band forever to join drama??
