Do not laugh at the announcer mispronouncing the assistant drum major's last name.
Judge: I think he's saying something wrong because the pit is shaking laughing...XD

don't try warding off bees by hitting them with your clarinet or flute.
Don't smack yourself in the face because you think there's a bug on it.
Don't do the makeup of the person standing next to you. (haha. i dished out push ups. bwahaha.)
Don't adjust yourself; it's more noticeable than you think.
Don't sword fight with your instrument.

It either goes "Band, Tenhut!" - "Hut!" or "Tenhut!" (hope your paying attention) " - "Hut" or "SET!" - no response, just movement so fast you'll miss it if you blink.
If someone moves, they call you out over the loudspeaker and we might end up standing at attention for 5 minutes. The entire band then hates you. If you blink, shift, any small movement, in the presence of a leader, drum major, or bd, you get watched like a hawk and frowned upon, and the band possibly has to stand at attention for an extra period of time, we then hate you. We're allowed to sneeze, just recover at super-speed, although no coughing is allowed, and if you can hold in the sneeze, then Kudos to you.
Basically, don't move, at all. Or lock your knees, bad idea O.o freshmen flute did that this year, stupid. I told her like 7 times to not lock her knees, and she still did, ungh.
One of my classmates, a senior, is scared of dogs and since we rehearse on a parking lot football field, we sometimes get strays, and he ran away pretty much no matter what we were doing. It was pretty funny.

Don't drop your trombone slide, particularly if you're at attention on bitumen stressed
Don't spill beer on your instrument
Don't step out to buy a kebab and then stand back in the band eating it (yeah, we had to wait for ages to step off in an Anzac Day parade)

Don't fart.
Don't tell the person next to you that their shoe is untied right when they're about to start the first step.
