I would tell the parents the truth, without sugar coating it. Sometimes parents need to be put in their place as much as an obnoxious student does. Be forward and honest. It's not your fault that the student who is complaining isn't as good as the first chair. Be honest, it's your band. Run it as you want.

I disagree. To be a professional, teachers need to develop tact, ESPECIALLY with parents. Parents can make or break your program. Instead of "putting someone in their place", just don't discuss it anymore. That is a much more powerful statement, while at the same time being professional.

Thanks everybody for the input. This was a problem in my highschool during my senior year. It got way out of out of hand. I really admired my director for doing things the way he felt they should be done, I really wondered what I would ever do if I was in that situation.

That last message didn't really go where I wanted it too, I wanted to put it as replying to everbody. Sorry. Now this one will probably go where I wanted the other one to go once I submit it. Oh well.
