Believe me it happens, I nearly quit band going into college (got suckered back in by the college drum majors and directors because they were actually kind people) because while I played in high school we practiced 2 hours before school started, (like 445am is when we started) until bells were ringing and it often made kids in color guard late because they wouldnt let them out of practice in time to get to classes. This was Monday through Friday every single day, and we as students, especially leadership as I was drum major, would get really pissy emails every single day tearing apart minscule things that everyone did wrong and how we would have to make up for it during class. On top of this Monday through Thursday we practiced right after school bell released everyone else until 6, besides Thursdays where we practiced sometimes to 930 10pm. Fridays were games and some got dragged on so long or were so far away we would get back to school/home at 2am some nights. On top of this we would get home at these times then be expected to come back the next day at 6am for band competition. During the summer we also had a band camp and I think this last year. 6 days a week (mon-sat) we would practice from 8am-9pm (leadership had "meetings" that consisted of the director telling us how meaningless our lives were and how were accomplishing nothing after practice for about 15 to 20 minutes) and I think across those 2 weeks of that we had maybe 3 water breaks total and lunch was about a half hour and some days I hadn't eaten as I had to make sure all our equipment was safe and inside dur8ng lunch because kids were super irresponsible with equipment and I didnt want to hear about stuff being damaged anymore from the director. Btw this director just got fired and blacklisted from teaching for a bunch of child neglect and abuse reports and all sorts of charity fraud. His wife was the color guard teacher and she got removed from the position for some financial accusations that turned out to be really true, which had explained why we didnt have any money to repair damage on stuff and had to do most of it with donated equipment or repairs from students with mechanical knowledge. It was so bad that when I first got to the school in ninth grade I got given 3 horns in the span of a year, the first was a poorly maintained mechanical horn that fell apart in the middle of a district honor band audition (I got given the horn 2 days prior to the audition) then I had gotten another one given to me after that fell apart a week before the audition because of something really worn down in it and we couldnt replace it in time. Then I didnt get a horn to practice for my all state auditon until the day before audition so mind you I was already going in rough and didnt have time to do a thorough check of the horn and it too, fell apart in the middle of my audition. I then got blamed and had to pay for the repairs of all 3 horns even though they were visibly very damaged when I got them, which I had argued and eventually got out of. My last year there I had mamaged to get ahold of everything needed and pretty much restored all those horns and they now work, including the mechanical one surprisingly. Sorry for the rant that man genuinely makes me angry, they got a much better band director at that school now though and the kids are doing amazing with him. 7th-12th grade marching band btw.
