at my high school we did most likely to be incarcerated. The kids were fine with it, but the parents didn't find it as funny.

Unga Boonga Captain Caveman award - Hairiest player on course
Ripping fund award - most mistakes made 50 pence put in a bucket and the proceeds used to buy a refreshing beer at the end of course ( cheques not accepted to cover a particular rehersal)
Clanger of the year ( blobbing in with most inappropriate mistake - normally concussionist in quiet movment dropping drum sticks)
the Infamous Plup award ( given to a tuba player on the NYBBW course in the 1990's on his inability to read music and dynamics) cue young Richard "Mr Sykes what does plup mean?" cue confusion.......erm Rich thats Piu P) ahhhhhhhhh the horror!!!!
