[quote=Anonymous]OP, your son is trying to make a responsible choice. That should be applauded. But ultimately he is putting himself (his AP success) before his commitment to the collective (the band).

There is no single AP lesson in the world that cannot be made up. (Weird that you’re not telling us which subject it is, but I guarantee you it’s not something where missing one day is going to sink the student.) Maybe he’ll have to work a little harder to learn that day’s concepts. He can go to the teacher’s office hours for help or watch extra online videos to help him make sure he learns that day’s material.

Do not ask the teacher to record the lesson. 
Do communicate with all teachers. 
Do help your son figure out what’s the right thing to do and how to best arrange things to minimize the impact of his decision. Yes, he didn’t choose to have a conflict. But he did choose to take band. Nobody forced him. And he would not miss an APYO performance, so he should pull his fair share of the load and attend the band performance, then maybe he has to work a bit harder to make up the one day of AP class that he missed.
