Don't giggle when the drum majors are testing you at deathblock. Yes, even if they're male and tell another male they're sexy and you know both are as straight as an arrow.
Punishment? 30 seconds of wallsits, add 30 secs. more for every time someone messes up.

Deathblock sounds like our schools Elimination Block.
We have our fundamentals block and every single one of the instructors watches. if you do anything wrong and they catch you, you're out. And if the people out start making too much noise, our Battery instructor gets to take them all and have a different elimination block. unfortunately for everyone but the Battery our Battery instructor is quite strict, and difficult.

NEVER!
drop your flute or piccolo head in your pocket and say you lost it.. people go nuts.
also never set your piccolo on the ground then pick it up and try to "pretend" throwing it at someone.. dirt will fly.
dont put dirt in the head joint and blow into it... the dirt WILL fly

Don't get your entire section to start singing the show at attention. Just... don't. You WILL get push ups. D:
And don't sing 'Bed' either. XD

The BD director called us to attention and a cell phone rang. He started yelling, then realized it was his.
One seriously emotional girl in my section has a breakdown every practice. Attention was called and she started sobbing.
Saxophones and sousaphones who quack into their instruments

Do not:
1. After 30 minutes of stretching bringing your brass instruments up to attention and screaming because it burns for being out in 125 degree heat.
2. Being at attention and smacking the person infront of you in the butt with your clarinet bell.
3. Have the entire 150+ size marching band scream 'Pride' as our attention call, and the whole band raises their hand and drops their hand down at an angle during practice.
4. Get ready to play, all is silent and your friend whispers a joke about the head drum major and you laugh, and it makes a loud awkward duck-like noise.

haha heres a few stories..
percussionists,
don't throw dog poo on a saxophone player and then call her "mona dingleberry". it catches on quickly.
sousaphones, don't name your instrument 'susie' and everytime you make a farting noise, blame it on 'her'. lol
clarinets [me],
your bells make amazing duck calls. 'conch!!!'.
when your learning drills.. try not to run around screaming because of a bee and anger your now ex-boyfriend, who was drum major, at the time. [i was the one screaming.]
trashcanning really does suck.. especially if your first target and the upperclassmen try over and over and over to get you. [me, again.]
drill downs..
haha don't laugh.
you'll get cockroaches.
PLEASE ROLL YOUR FEET.
when planking,
TURN YOUR DANG HEAD. lol
all of this happens from band camp throughout the year at OHHS. lol
ADD ME.

remain completely stock still and silent.
listen for orders from the DM or the director.
other than that, nothing.
nothing at all.

Ok, my band is military. We are very strict on attention. Move, our director will either:
A) Just stand there looking disappointed.
B) If you keep doing it, through his hat down and yell his head off at you.
C) Tell us we are not in the right spot, don't move, LEAN!
And, now unrelated Director topics. Don't:
A)Not hear the Attention command and while everyone else is at attention, DON'T MOVE! Even if you're not at attention.
B) If you are given a turn (ex. Right face, left face, about face, etc.) and you turn the wrong way, don't move, just stay there, and then correct yourself when you director yells "At ease band!"
C) Don't move while yelling: "PRIDE IS 100%, MOTIVATION, DEDICATON, AND SELF DISIPLINE IN EVERYTHING WE DO!" (Our moto) Director will give you a nasty look. Or yell at you. But most likly stare at you and say "Don't move"

turn your head to smile at a friend...who'll most likely smile back
then the smiling becomes giggling and then your section leader will hear you and shush you with a threatening glare...
you start giggling again which becomes laughing and then figeting and then you become totally oblivious to the many eyes staring at you...
then you get what's coming...
YOUR BAND DIRECTOR...
scary thing when it's the taylor at CHS

one year an 8th grader (in our band we occasionally have 8th-graders) stood at attention and we didnt know it until the BD said something, but his pants were down. apparently he was trying to be really good and even though his pants were down he didnt bend to pick them up. he got an award at the end of the year for"staying at attention even though my pants are down"
