concert percussion instruments

I need advice on if I should quit this program or not, please.?
When I was in 12 grade in high school, I don’t know why I decided to be in percussion, since I’d never been in it before. Now I’m a freshman in college and 2nd semester is quickly approaching in a few months. I took college band & I was the only girl in the percussion section. I was kinda uncomfortable w/ that but I don’t think that’s why I wanna quit college band. I’m very confused on why. I got embarrassed easily then & struggled with not doing stuff right always. I practiced as hard as I could and when the main concert came, I did wonderfully, and my parents thought so, too. Now 2nd semester I’m thinking of dropping college band for jazz ensemble, since I think I’m much better at playing piano than percussion. What are your thoughts? Do you think I should quit band &/or maybe feel guilty everytime I see a percussion instrument? Or should I face my fears? Please give me your advice, and please be nice about it. Thank you.
College is way too time-consuming and expensive to not be happy with what you are doing. If you are more comfortable doing piano then I’m sure your parents won’t care that you do that and would want you to nail down what you want AND be happy. Go for Jazz!
