Finances a non-issue here, they just don't to want to be the bad guy and make their child do something they may be a tad uncomfortable about in the beginning. How the **** do you expect your child to build any sort of resilience/confidence?
to be fair, end of year concerts are bullshit. my kids just cant sing, just like most people. and if they could, and they had an interest in developing that, why should other parents be forced to listen to them?
the other things the kids can suck it up and do them, but i suspect that them not doing the concert is more about the parents not wanting to go to it than the kids. i certainly cant stand going to them, either way back when i was a kid, or now that im a parent.
in summary, end of year concerts give me the shits
