I don't think assignments are a bad idea. I think they could even be incorporated into the repertoire that the band is studying. Perhaps a brief historical analysis or something would be appropriate? I agree with Amanda that reflections and backgrounds of the pieces are great ways for students to think more academically about the pieces the ensemble is playing.

I think that there should be written homework and tests in band class. The only way to fully understand the music played in band is to understand the theory behind it. From my own personal experience, I had seen in my band in high school that people who had not learned any theory seemed to have a harder time at learning the music. In contrast, those who did have theory had excelled much more in the music program.
