E-mail the principal.

Dear Principal,

My child missed school on [date] to test for all-state band. She turned in a registration slip which was signed by me, the music teacher, and you. I found out on [date] that the school has marked the absence as unexcused. When I called the school attendance secretary, [name], on [date], to ask why, she said that the activity was not school-related. But the activity was school-related! My child did this activity as part of her band elective in school. Could you please explain why the absence was marked as unexcused?

Sincerely,

[you][/quote]

Leave out the ! mark and I wouldn't ask "please explain why the absence was marked as unexcused."  End with, something like please advise me on how to have attendance secretary correct it.[/quote]
Definitely leave out "please explain why" and end with what you want:  Kindly authorize Attendance to indicate that the absence was excused.  Thank you." And cc Attendance on the email.  
Always let them go the path of least resistance, that is, presumably the principal with hit reply all and say "Maggie (attendance lady) please take care of this."
