I'm from a small High School (or I was before I graduated) where all the guard members also play instruments in the off-season. My junior year marching season had already ended and it was concert season. I was also part of Business Professionals of America through the local Vo-Tech. Fate would have it that the spring leadership conference (SLC) was on the same day as district concert band competition. Enough rambling, I'll cut to the chase:
I was kicked out because I chose SLC over district contest.
My reasoning:
-I'm only in band for guard. I wouldn't be here if I didn't have to be.
-Leadership conference where scholarships are offered, or band where there is no future for me.
Was I right or wrong in my thinking, and was the director right or wrong for taking such a drastic measure as kicking me out completly and dropping my grade by two letters?
He also pulled a bunch of immature junk, such as telling my best friend that I'm a bad influence and that she should stop hanging out with me.

wow! That is totally out of line! There was no WAY he should have kicked you out and he should have especially not talked to your friend that way, if that was my band teacher I would have so taken it to the superintendents office...

We took it to the superintendent. He said to go to the principal, and the principal told us to go to the band director.
I really don't think it helped that the superintendent had something against my family, though.

My dad was the band booster president when the old band director was there, and he tried to get the school board to support the band a little more. My high school was all about sports, so it didn't fly well.
