Re. the new person worried about being harassed and called a fag if they join the marching band. I understand it's terrible but being called names isn't the worst thing that can happen to you. And unfortunately there are almost always jerks like that, especially in high school. And are you going to let them keep you from doing something you really like and are good at? Plus at the end you'll potentially have dozens of talented friends while they'll just have their small gang of jerks.
