I would've explained to the guys at the orchestra that you don't agree with your mother's wishes and that you'd be happy to accept. Is it a single parent household? If so: Sit down and talk to your mother about how being a perfectionist with your GPA has now elliminated a chance at obtaining a valuable refference and experience. If she has half a brain, she'll listen. If not: Bitch about it to Dad.
Judging by your name, I assume you play the bass. That makes this suck even more because the standup bass is an amazing instrument that takes a ton if talent and finesse to play well, especially well enough to be invited into a prestigious orchestra. I hope that you insisted on still playing with them! FYL indeed, I'd be both angry and sad in that situation.
I know, right? I know someone like this whos parents go like "I can't believe you got a ninty-two on that test!" Parents like that need to realize that ninety-two average is a hell of a good grade compared to what half the class gets and, last time I checked, in almost every school half of the class graduates to a good college and gets a good job. God damm you slavedriver parents
It's her beauty on a ten point scale. A 3.7 is quite an ugly girl. To go under 4, you have to get into morbid obesity, festering boils, warts (hairy ones), meth mouth, unibrows, deformities, microcephaly (pinhead), male pattern baldness and carbuncles. Her mom was just telling the orchestra that her daughter is just too fugly to appear on stage.
Seriously, how old ARE you? GPA is grade point average. You get a 4.0 for an A, a 3.0 for a B and so on, and then they average it together. It means she gets almost straight A's with some B's, and her mom's a psycho who thinks those B's mean she is an inferior human being. Now that you know what a GPA is, come back when you hit high school and have one.
Ah. The old "ITS HAPPENS IN AMERICA SO ITS TRUE WORLDWIDE" mentality. If someone's lacking maturity, it'll be you. I bet you know shit all about the education system in England or Australia, but because someone doesn't know about the good ol' US system (which has a 47.6% failure rate according to the University of Minnesota: http://atheism.about.com/od/atheistbigotryprejudice/a/AtheitsHated.htm) they're obviously stupid. I'd like to say you do your country a disservice, but I've grown to expect this way of thinking from americans.
Agreeing with Stormix. Sunsh1ne, I could easily ask how old you are because you do no know how to spell mum, or secondary school-but I do not, because I know that is American, and respect your nationality, and American ways (at least some of them ;P). You, for one, will have to realise that the United States do not have the perfect system, that every nation on the globe copies. And Plexico: I loved the comment. :P
How about being an athlete and competing at state finals for two different sports (football, as a starter, and swimming in 3 event out of a maximum of 4), on top of a 4.0 -- which includes the 9 hours/semester of college credit I was taking instead of high school classes? Granted, I only made it to State Swimming 1 year out of three, but I made it to State Football as a starter 2 years out of 2. (Freshmen can't play Varsity at my High school). So, so I have to shut the "he'll" (sic) up, or do I have room to talk?
Well la dee da for you! Most of us have lives outside of school and can't be arsed to make everything perfect and get 4.25 GPA's Especially not so much that we get all A's in our weighted classes. Fuck that. All the weighted classes I was in resulted in a B. I'd like to spend time with my friends and still get a 4.0 instead of wasting my life at home perfecting projects just to get a few 5.0's
In many schools, you get more than 4 points for an A in advanced level courses. Unless you are in a school that uses a true 4-point scale, a 3.7 is not necessarily that impressive of a GPA. So, if you are willing to mislead us FML readers, I can only imagine what kind of BS you pass off on your poor mom! You probably blew the conductor anyway.
Good thing you went to some garbage grade-inflation school, pelxico. Hey colleges! Our kids are so good that they get more than a 4.0! Nevermind that we artificially increase those numbers so our kids will actually be in way over their heads in their first college seminar. If you're so smart, you should be able to excel on the same grading scale, but with harder classes.

FYL. Just... FYL. We should probably have a category for "meddling parents" ._. what's up with that, really?
