if it were me, I would not want to stand out in a highly talented orchestra by playing wrong notes with wrong timing and ruining the whole performance because I wanted to exercise my "right to squeak". I would feel worried about ruining the hard work of other talented and hard working kids by screwing up their good performance with my incompetence. I also don't want to feel unwelcome in a place that I do not belong in. There is a place for everyone in this world and not all of us need to be in a public performance of a school orchestra.
