[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP, this just plays out. With him navigating, the perhaps, rough waters. True character building. This experience -overall- not a bad thing. Either decision by the student (not the school) is defensible. He will and should defend himself if needed.

btw, my DD once walked off the field during (once again) a practice that ran way long. She had a very important test to (continue) studying for.  It was a scene. The coach berated her but instead, she felt empowered. Proud of herself and knew she had the support of her teammates. Thought she made him look much worse [/quote]

Walking out of a practice is way different from ghosting a performance.  If your kid had walked out the goal in a match that ran long due to rain delay, that would be equivalent.

This kid deserves to fail band.  At most schools, that would be the consequence for a kid who was in school and didn't show up.  My guess is they won't be chosen for future auditioned based bands, so it will be either taking freshman band for 4 years or dropping AYPO, all because they were too afraid to ask for lecture notes, or to risk an A-.
