It happens.When I was in the 6th grade -- 2nd chair trumpet -- we had a guy that could sky like MF! I don't think he ever went anywhere with it other than maybe studio work. But then, he did lead in some HS and community orchestra stuff. But, his parents always seemed to find the gas.

Recheck your memory banks. 6th grade you should have been able to sight read (to some degree). It doesn't mean I didn't hate that show off *******, but they crop up from time to time.
Were it me, I'd be calling the school, other parents, the band teacher, my child's favorite teacher, even the pathetic greenbriar to see if they could give my kid a ride and return the favor the next time...sheesh!Cindie
Kids mom had to replenish her stash. Priorities, ya know.
