Speaking of annoying odors, I got very annoyed looks when I got out the
nail polish during a rehearsal to "nail" down some goldbeater's skin on
a reed! (and the person behind me audibly said "What IS that smell?".

May I also mention (in addition to clean clothes and good personal hygeine),
it is kind to refrain from wearing perfume, cologne, or strong
aftershave. Someone in the woodwinds seems to always come with a fairly
strong vanilla scent. While I don't find it nauseating, I don't think
it's good form.

Also, I know how good garlic and onions are for you, but it would be
kind to refrain from eating either of those raw before a rehearsal or
gig. Brushing the teeth does not take care of the odor!
