I think that you have to be joking, but yet serious at the same time. I always felt more energetic in rehearsals when the band director would joke around with us, would laugh and just make it interesting, but we would still get things done. I've been in bands where the band director was really serious about everything, and even though the rehearsal went at a fast past, I wanted to fall asleep!

I remember that when I was in high school choir and we had low energy or just poor focus, my director would have us meet in the gym. From there, we would play a quick game of dodgeball. It was unexpected, and it would have our entire choir laughing and building up some energy. Honestly, who feels dead after dodgeball? Because the energy would be up, we would then sing more in tune. You don't necessarily need to use an activity like dodgeball, but during OCMEA one of the sessions mentioned that there are schools where students jump before they start on school work. I find that using some sort of physical movement stimulates the mind.
