Try giving them an incentive like play the songs you have to work on for the concert and then say at the end if you can get through everything that needs to be done, they will get to sing or play songs they enjoy. I know this worked for when I was in band. We hated playing Eroica and all the Sousa stuff but if the teacher said we could play Tequilla at the end, then we worked much more efficiently.

I would try working in different ways of rehearsing to keep them more enthused. Like try putting them in a big circle and have them listening to each other in different ways then they're used to. I think more interactive things might help stimulate and hold their interest.
