How do we deal with being late?

When you take yourselves as seriously as we do (ha), it is important to maintain a strict practice regiment (15-20 minutes per day.) From time to time, a young Bander will have an attack of irresponsibility and may be tardy to rehearsal. This, of course, is entirely unacceptable. To combat this sickening breakdown of the system, we have devised an intense behavior modification treatment. Please observe the beauty of the function below:

For you lay people who require an explanation, read on. Where x equals the number of minutes late to rehearsal, f(x) equals the number of pizzas owed to the group. At three minutes late the first pizza is added to the tally, and every ten minutes following a pizza is added until the perpetrator arrive at rehearsal.

The burning question on everyone's mind is obvious: "What if they don't graduate?" Ah, yes. We have considered this in a symposium of remarkable length, and it has been concluded that this function is only discontinued upon graduation from Skidmore College. Thus, there are a few people that owe quite a few pizzas. Luckily, we have a secretary to record these tallies daily.

Worry not, friends; a graph of the function will soon be posted.
