I see this all the time also. However, I have realized that it isn't worth my time to pester and harp on the students who are not engaged because it takes valuable learning time away from the rest of the ensemble. I have had an extremely difficult time with a few of my high school girls at my junior block placement. They stand in choir slouched with their arms crossed just giving me the "death" look. When I asked my cooperating teacher about these girls, she simply told me that they do that all the time and she doesn't waste her time with them either. She merely prays that they don't sign up the following year.

This is why I did not want to be a music educator. This subject sends flames up my spine. This is also why I will not take a High school job, because I can not understand why students sign up for choir and do nothing. There are other options for these students, like art classes. I guess I feel that if a student is in my choir, then they had better participate!

If resources allow it, try offering another music class for people that are not in band or choir but need a fine arts requirement. At Seneca East, everyone is required to be in band, choir, or general music. This separates the people that want to be in an ensemble and those that don't.
