Howeverc when it is revealed that he lied on his application about his qualifications, he is immediately dropped to P-4 despite his talent, and later dropped from the band completely when he starts a fight with a rival school. It is only through school politics that he is back on the field after the first incident, and he ends up almost losing his scholarship over the latter.

The downside to this is that Devon is initially a showboating jerk who thinks about his own glory more than the good of the band.
