Kicking them out of band/choir would be the direct opposite of what should be done. Find out if the student isn't succeeding because they are doing it on purpose or if they are having a true difficulty. If the student is playing badly as a misbehavior, the director should speak to the student and decide some consequences of further misbehavior. If the student is having a real difficulty, the director should take time to help the student through private meetings or recomending them to private lessons.

You cannot simply kick a student out of band due to their lacking ability in music. If you did such a thing, it is quite possible that you could ruin music for the pupil entirely. The best course of action that I'd recommend would be to privately instruct the student. If no improvement is made, certainly recommend another instrument, or implement techniques to better his/her voice. You can teach anything to anyone as long as you start at their level of understanding.
