Pro tip: if your home is infested by a marching band, don’t harm them. Simply find the drum major and move it to a warm dry place in a different location; the rest will of their own volition move to its location in a matter of hours.

If this is a recurring problem it's time to think about the acoustics of your space. Persistent infestations of musicians are often traceable too much (or too little!) reverb. Large open spaces attract the bands, insulated surfaces attract indie rock groups, often looking to found their first album. Kill one member and they will be replaced, and commemorative albums will be released. If you see completion albums? Just give up.

@futurebird @JuliusGoat You could also consider the economics of the area. While there are musicians who are immune, driving up property values can help deter the band from fully forming.

If nothing else works, consider a major construction project. They hate the noise. You will, too, but it might be preferable to a marching band.

And remember, we're rooting for you. We're all in this together.

@futurebird @JuliusGoat You've really got to clean the place out carefully. One cowbell left in a closet can undo all your work
