Maybe, ask your Band Director if he can give them any sort of insentive? For instance, they may just not be motivated to learn, because there is nothing driving them to do so. Do you have a Jazz Band at your school? I had a simular situation at my school. One of the Percussionists, fabulous player, don't get me wrong, had a lot of trouble reading. So as an insentive my Band Director told him, he won't be allowed to play Drum Set in Jazz Band, untill he gains the skill of reading music. Withing a weeks time, he'd practiced reading so much, it was outstanding, then he was allowed to play, with good reason. So, maybe, just little insentives like the given, might motivate them to learn.
Hope I could be of assistance?
