Well last year if you were to Acting out more then twice,with the Drum Major telling you to stop they have the right to lock you out of the band hall and tell you to do 2 laps around the track field with your instrument.

I think that the worse thing we do would be these things call 'sets'. First you do push-ups till they tell you to stop then they say switch and then you start doing run-unders then you stand up and do jumping jacks the worst part is that they can make you do one task for as long as they want so we could do 30 push ups before we go to run-unders

The only thing we really get punished for in my band is wearing red to rehearsal...if you have ANY red on your clothes (even tiny logos) your shoes get taken away and thrown to the opposite side of the field. Or into the stands...good luck finding them again razz
The punishment used to be pantsing, but they stopped that once they admitted women into the band, haha.

The worst punisment my band has ever had to do was for a single persons idiocy. He threw a fit and stormed into the stands. In order to get him back on the field, the director punished everyone else.
First,s he told us to do pushups until he came back one. we did that for 10 minutes.
Then, she switched to jumping jacks. 10 minutes of that before she gave up on that.
Next, situps. another 15 minutes.
Then she mad eus run a mile.
By the time she finally stopped, the band was exausted and sore. We were already all sorebecause the day before she had made us do a move involving a band kneel over 100 times in arow, causing great pain to our knees to the point you could tell who the band kids were either by knee braces or limping.
Then, when she finally stopped making us work out(he still hadnt gone back onfield) we had to stand at attention for nearly half an horu. Not marching, not playing. Just standing, horns in the horns down position(bells parallel to ground, horn parallel to body, arms up at a 90 degree angle)

Standard punishment for us is what we called Sunset Squad. Simply put, you stand at attention, with instruments (which meant the pit kids lucked out in that regard) for however long the drum majors/band directors said.
Within pit, we had our own punishment--the Crucifix. Extend your arms parallel to the ground, possibly holding bass drum mallets or other objects/books/something heavy. And then hold the position, and you can't let your arms drop at all. Tis EVIL.

When we get in trouble we either have to do 20 or more pushups together, stand at attention for 10 minutes, or run a mile or more.

And then hold the position, and you can't let your arms drop at all. Tis EVIL. This wasnt my punishment, but during band camp, student staff was in chage of doing rotations. Your rotation group was based on section, so percussion was on its own. They got to me and the head dm's station, which was attention and aprade rest. The drumline instructor was their rotation chaperone(lumni or guard/dl instructors to help student staff out. stayed with a particular section). If they moved at attention or if we were yelling at them over and over for the same thing, he made them stand at attention with their sticks above their heads. Once we had to do this as a band when the director was out. A college student who ahs been helping out with our marching band was in charge of working on transitions and stopping, since the judges had been ahrping on that. She amde us march with our hands above our heads to show how much we moved when we stoppped or switched form backward to forward. It was weird and amusing, but it helped a lot. not so much a punishment though.

So many! If someone messed up, our Trumpet section leader, who was F A T, had to do a lap. We all tortured him.
If you missed a practice with no good reason, you're out. No more band for the late guy.
Then Theres band detention. During the 3-hour practice, you have to either do your entire show for the 3 hours, or do 3 hour basics. Depends on what you did wrong.

Our band had to do attention drills in horns up for twenty minutes straight. Then, because my guard instructor was in a bad mood that day, and one girl kept breaking attention during rehersal, guard (myself included) had to do an extra ten minutes. Of horns up.
It definitely ended up helping guard build up muscle in the end, though.
This was in a highschool band.

Marching around the football team, singing the school song, whilst doing drop spins consecutively for 10 minutes. If anyone messed up they added another minute.
Embarrassing and painful. I love Guard.

Our punishment is sometimes put into parade rest, were we have our heads down, legs set apart at 45 degrees, and the left hand behind our backs open palmed and the right hand holding our insurment/drumsticks/or open palm resting on the side of our leg. We would stay like that till the drummajor twetts the whistle to call us up. When we spring up we are to shout the word "one".

We would have to do 30+ push-ups. If you fall, you would have to do it over. Today, everyone had to do 35 push-ups. Because no one knew the answer to a simple question that we took notes on yesterday. sweatdrop

heh we never really had a punishment for acting out or anything our band always does that, but our band director did yell at people one time for not bring their charts out with them. he's scary when he yells though, because he's only done it 2-3 times since i've been here, which has been 5 years so yeah.....
Also we don't start getting super serious about it till it's closer to Festival.
