What constitutes inappropriate conduct that would lead to demerits?

Improper stand conduct is considered a violation of team expectations and standards. This behavior can include a range of actions such as being inattentive, disrespectful, or failing to maintain a professional demeanor while in line or during performances. Such conduct not only affects the individual but can also disrupt the overall performance of the team and detract from the team spirit and morale. When team members do not adhere to the expected conduct during practices or performances, it reflects negatively on the entire group, and thus, it is met with consequences like demerits to reinforce the importance of discipline and commitment to the team.

In contrast, talking to teammates, cheering for the team, or focusing on practice are generally viewed as positive behaviors that contribute to a supportive and engaged team environment.
