Ari,

A couple of simple questions. What is your level of musical training? Do you understand the pedagogy of the clarinet and can articulate it to others? Do you have a record of success in diagnosing common technical and musical problems like those found in the students who have a "thin, weak sound"?

GBK: a very accomplished former band director as well as an experienced adjudicator gave you some sage advice when he said:

"Suck it up, put on your big boy pants, and follow his wishes. When and if you ever become a band director, you can do with your sections as you please.

It's only high school - In the big picture of things, it's relatively meaningless.

Practice your own part. Play it to the best of your ability and stop worrying about everybody else.

It's not your job."

Keep taking your present, extremely combative tack and you may find yourself in either Mr. Jones' or MS Auten's office. Back off my young friend; you are, as they said back in my day, "crusin' for a bruisin'"

HRL

PS To your comment "Band directors are not some sort of omnipotent being nor are they always right" may I suggest that you include "but they are the director/boss/final word... End of story.
