Don't lock your knees up and fall over while the band director is watching...
Don't start a staring contest with the person next to you.
Don't play, "Let's see if we can be like the color guard with our flutes!"
IN COMPETITION: Don't start laughing because of the airmail being read, a mispronunciation of the band director's name, or whatever else. Judges tend to give you the evil eye. >.<

dont not take care of your corks so they shrink up and the bottom half of your clarinet wont stay on and you have to march the whole show holding both oieces instead of playing.
also the one one about locking your knees and passing out in front of the instructor. xp

When I was in high school, about 4 years ago, our school colors were blue and gold. We would yell blue when we were call to attention and we could do a kind of hiss type thing when we were called to parade rest... now that I think about it I think that we should have said gold... the hiss was stupid. Oh well it happens.
During band camp one year, my first year as a section leader were we standing at attention and the drum major and assistant drum major were walking around trying to see who they could get to move, if you moved you were out but then you got to help. It was the period of time where I was wearing really big hoop ear rings and the drum major flipped my ear rings up an hung them on the tops of my ears, then she picked up a peice of grass ans stuck it in my nose. Yes I moved after that but only to chase the drum major around the filed and tackle her... rofl The band director told us that if that's how were wanted to act then we should join the football team. I told him I tried but that they wouldn't let me play. biggrin

wow
DONT:
okay as a section leader this is the one thing that bugs me the most, which is when two kids are fighting, and you tell them to hush up and they start making excuses so the DM calls attention--then they go to attention---they yell HUT! and everything---then they go back to freaking fighting!!!! I give 50 pushups for that because that is just beyond immature
I am the most strict section leader in our band, mostly because i am in trumpet section, and well, everyone knows the trumpets are misfits, i am as well.
And you cant ANSWER your phone at attention (one girl has the 'need' to answer it right then)
you cant try to be funny and do anything youre told not to do (this guy in my section tries so hard to get attention and he yells at me for giving him pushups)
make fun of the section leader's attention position: especially when the brass captain says she is right and youre wrong: she'll be after you for the rest of the season.
make fun of the section leader's pushups because she cant do "guy" pushups: she might not be able to "guy" pushups, but youre teasing the person who can give you all the pushups she wants
tell the section leader she is standing in the wrong place--- yell at her repeatedly about how wrong she is, and get pushups for bpth talking, and standing in the wrong place, given to you by her.
call the section leader a b***h for not replying to your question-- and then get 20 pushups for talking while at attention, and cursing at your section leader
dont get out of line and start yelling in pain and beating off the ants from the hill you just stepped in, because if the band is marching in line, then everyone in front of you just stepped in that same hill-- again more pushups
More, but i think thats enough

Don't talk on your cell phone.
Don't giggle so hard that you fall down laughing.
Don't hiccup soo loud that the band director thinks some one screamed.
Don't trip over your own feet......

When your nose itches do not scratch it with your instrument.
You will sneeze and drop it.

Once, during band camp, when everyone was at set, our section leader told my friend to hold out her hand. then he took the triangle mallet and hit the triangle really hard so that it seemed to ring for like five minutes. then he put the mallet in my friends hand and walked away. twisted my friend was really confused and she just stared at the mallet in her hand. EVERYONE slowly looked up and stared at her because they thought she it the triangle. she kept on staring at the mallet and finally looked up and realized what happened and that the whole band was staring at her. eek then she slowly put down the mallet and walked away too.
moral of the story: don't be totally oblivious to everything that's going on when yer at set cool

Don't Tie your shoe,
Don't attempt to wear your sousaphone like a hat,
Don't stare at the clouds and tell your friends what they look like, and
Don't show the girl next to you what your underwear looks like.
sadly though, our band is in near anarchy, so we don't get in trouble if anyone does that. The end result is that now we can never place at parades or competitions unless by default.
