I just wanted them to polish their presentations by looking and acting as professional as possible! Oh yeah, they are all great people and very talented.

That's progress!

Last semester I simply gave each of them a hard copy of this post. I was pleased that every one of them was there on time and dressed better than I have ever seen them! So I guess I made my point.

Some students aren't prepared, their Powerpoints don't work, they're not appropriately dressed, they haven't practised, etc. I am now considering giving them a checklist with requirements which must be satisified or they will receive a grade of zero (presentations are worth 40% of their final grade). If one student has this happen, the rest of the students will find out very quickly via their grapevine that not meeting requirements has severe consequences and that I am absolutely serious about them. Maybe you should do likewise. I teach Liberal Arts, not music, but similar behaviours in students occur in my classes when they give presentations.
