Simply put a sign on the wall that says this:

"There is no I in B-A-N-D."

Point to that day in and day out, and hopefully the mature students will get the point and become role models for the rest of the ensemble... because there IS no I in BAND

I did not see this behavior in high school band. At least not to that extent. At the High School I attended, the sectionals were everyday for the 1/2 hour before or after your lunch, depending upon whether you had lunch at the top half or the bottom half of the hour.
The sectionals were led by one of the band directors. The type of behavior you are descibing, when it was seen by a director, was not tolerated.

When I was in Jr. High, the mean behavior was directed at me every day during band. The director did not stop them.
When I went to High School, I stood up to the ring leader and she stopped. After that, I learned to ignore all the pettiness and only pay attention to the directors, the drum majors, and Flora.

When I am a teacher, I will go the route of the band directors at my High School. Mean, petty, hateful behavior toward your classmates will not be tolerated.

Loss of band priveledges will result from such behavior.
