Hi ravenmoon36 and welcome to the forum
I am sorry to hear that your daughter didn't have all the concessions she was promised when she took her 11 plus exam and that you are having to appeal.
There are two stages to the appeal :
1) non-qualification the crucial bit here is the academic evidence which will mainly come from the school / head teacher.
I would suggest that the test that your colleagues suggests may not add much - have a read of https://www.elevenplusexams.co.uk/advic ... lification section B64 which highlights some of the problems that a panel may have in interpreting such a test (the rest of the FAQ is also worth reading)
In addition to the academic evidence (which is the most crucial bit) you would discuss the extenuating circumstance and how they may have affected your daughter on the day
2) oversubscription if you are successful at appeal, it may be that you then have to justify why this school? - this is where the evidence of music ability may come in
There is also a FAQ for oversubscription https://www.elevenplusexams.co.uk/advic ... bed-school which may be useful
