Retired 10 years ago but still have some alternative assignments material on my Google Drive. Anyone is welcome to have any of these:

I usually just mark it excused. We have other assignments for them to get their grade.

Sometimes when kids miss for other stupid reasons I make them do a recording. Record the full show, with stepouts, along with a recording. Maybe also the dance tune of the week for good measure.

If you want to be really evil, a written test over their dots for the show. Make them fill in their coordinates from memory.

Get steppin'!

Exempt them from those performances. They didn't pass their English class, why do they have to do more for their band class? Why do you *want* to do more reading/grading assignments? Let them focus on the classes they need to pass.

By law, they cannot attend the event, so they are doing what they are required to do. If they're continuing to attend rehearsals and participating in class, there's no need to make anyone's life harder.
