Expell them from school.

Probably the same. Universities overreact to a great many things.

They would overreact and kick them out of the band and we would complain.

Wasn’t it the school administration who issued the apology? I haven’t heard about the students themselves collectively

Their student section leadership did too. (equivelent to ROC leaders) There's was much better than admin's.
