When you are in band, you learn very quickly about being late. As my band director say, "Early is on time, on time is late, and late is DEAD!" If anyone is late it means PAIN and PUNISHMENT. My school's pain and punishment includes push ups, planks, or standing at attention for minutes at a time (which means feet together, stomach in, chest out, shoulders up back down, chin up, and eyes WITH PRIDE. All of this and no moving makes up attention). We take being late as a very big deal. We need to review or learn certain things in a certain amount of time and in a certain amount of days. My school is a small school but our band is well known and considered a very good band. The only way we can keep that up is if we stay on track, work hard, and practice. We have to push to always practice like we perform. That is why we need to be at practice early, so we can be ready to start when the clock hits meeting time. When you are in band you learn to come early to things. Although most people don't stress over being a minute late, that is one superpower that all band directors can somehow get kids to do. Marching band can teaching you many things. How to be a family, how to work as a team, trust, and many other things. But one of the most important one is take the responsibility of managing you time.
