We rented an instrument that stayed at the school.

Three to a seat is normal. My son is 6'2, so I agree it's ridiculous. My kids also can't bring their instrument on the bus.
So bus riders quit band/orchestra? This is our first year (first day) riding the bus and DC hasn't had to deal with bringing the instrument yet.

Certainly sitting on the floor isn’t normal, no?
That part is not normal, based on my kids's experience.

Depending on the instrument, you have to do kiss and ride. Small ones can go on the bus.

Deny boarding. Parents have to figure out transportation.

Doesn’t sitting on the floor block the emergency exit? I can’t believe that’s allowed.
Yes it does. What else can they do if there is nowhere to sit?

I have a co/ worker whose son played cello. She had to drive him to school on the days he had band practice.

3 to a seat should not be normal past elementary age! I haven't experienced this with my kid, our bus is pretty empty, but I've seen it on other routes. I bet its very hard to redistribute.
