Well, honestly?
The success my line has had is all through intimidation.
My freshman year the seniors/juniors were really serious about everything and it filtered down into the underclassmen. Once we were a good way into the season the older kids relaxed a bit and accepted us, but only after we worked for it.
The line now is almos tthe same, but it's because we used the same tactic... intimidation will lead to acceptance if it's worked toward. If the kids are being disrespectful, threaten them.

I agree, being a freshmen can sometimes make you get out of hand so the Juniors and Seniors are always a pain in the butt to control them!

Don't threaten your subordinates. punish them. warn them, and if they keep acting up, do what must be done, drop em. if they don't give you respect, let em try to learn a lesson from the dirt as they commence with pushups. it may seem cruel, but next year when I lead the front ensemble, they'll learn quickly to respect me and to listen up by this very tactic. warn em, then drop em.

dang. umm...at drumline practices, be harsh. punishment will work on 'em. and they don't listen to that, you have to take the hard way out and tell on them...yeah..it's sorta stupid...but it's a last resort. I'm actually not a drumline captain, though. But I'm the future captain, so I've gave it some thought.

I'm a second year vet in the tenor line, so I know how it is to be yelled at constantly to get things right. Even now I have some real bad habits that I'm doing my very best to break. But if I wasn't told that I had them, I'd be a whole lot worse off. So don't be afraid to get in their face and show them what it REALLY takes to be a valueable person in the section. If they don't like it, then they don't belong there.

You have to crack down on them, if they can't do what you ask say that they will not get to play.
