Thou shalt not hit band members with your pretties by missing a toss.
Thou shalt not talk loudly between numbers on the field.
Thou shalt not think thy are God, when in reality thy are just another annoying trumpet player.

Thou shalt not throw things at the insane trombone players.
Thou shalt not poke older members of the band.
Thou shalt not mock the cowbell!
Yeah, mostly inside jokes, but our band is obsessed with cowbells. Ever since that funny SNL skit. Look it up if you're curious, or you can PM me for the link. Oh, and as for the trombone thing, no offense to any intelligent and mentally sane trombone player. Much offense to those from my school's band, with the exception of one.

Thou shalt march the style thou arest taught, not the one thou madest up.
Thou shalt not hit other marchers, as they may whack thou over the head with something after the performance/practice.
Thou must stay out of the Drumline's way.
Thou must not insult the section leaders or the directors.
Thou must obey the marching director, even if he/she is evil and comparable to a Nazi.
Thou mustn't insult a Color Guard Member- they play with dangerous weapons.
Thou shalt play loud and with impeccable rhythm.
Thou shalt direct bells to the press box, and not towards the endzone.
Thou shant place stuff on the pit equipment- they aren't tables, people.
Thou shalt learn how to get thy instrument out of thy case while walking at a fast pace toward thy practice field.
Thou must memorize all of the music thy band director hands out.
Thy instrument is not a toy, stepladder or drumstick, unless thou plays drums.
There is no reason for thou to be late to any event. Get up earlier.
Thou shalt learn every horn move in two tries.
Thou shalt respect thy uniform, even if it looks ridiculous.
Thou shalt see to it that thy instrument is taken care of with the best of the best.
Thy instrument is to be repaired as soon as a problem is noticed.
Thou shant horseplay in the band room, lest something, such as a bone or instrument, get broken.
Thou shalt make sure thou is in good health before practice or performance.
Thou shalt be carful when marching lest thou fall.
Thou shalt run when thy band director calls out, "Reset!".
Thou shalt not smell thy plume, even if it DOES smell like chocolate.
Thous shalt not complain of the weather. Play pretend if it's too cold, losers!
Thou shalt address all diagonals, curves and lines within a miliisecond of the director yelling, "Adjust!".
Thou shalt not insult the upperclassmen, as they know every part of their instument and can hurt you within an inch of your life with just a mouthpiece.
Thou shalt have their coordinates and poker chips at every practice and performance. I don't care if you don't need them, and neither does anyone else.
Thou shant dig thy toes in the ground when marching forward, nor plop on heels after backward marching when holding.
I could go on, but not now. Later, perhaps.

Thou shalt always wear thy band camp shirt under thy uniform
Loveth thy Band Cult
Thou shalt yell random things at the end of the BD's sentences during inside rehersal.
Thou shalt remove all visible jewelry before thy performance
Respect thy Flag Corps. and thy Drummajor, for they are bendy and carry big sticks.
That's all I got for now...
