How to make Lemonade, given lemons?

So my son did not make the top band this year at his high school. Three kids left and they only let one kid in. There's some speculation that the teacher's saving spots for two of his top kids who decided not to take band as seniors. He may be hoping to change their minds. Or maybe he thinks my boy is not good enough.

They thought very highly of him at his youth orchestra audition and he got a "command performance" at the solo and ensemble competition, one of four or five from the whole school. (with three big bands full of kids)

He really needs to be in a better band, the intonation in the second band stinks and he finds the music unchallenging.

I'm a little put out for the other really good clarinetist at the school who also failed to get in.
