Tuning Etiquette

My wife and I are at odds about the etiquette of tuning on stage before a preformance. She says it is unprofessional to do anything but play a tuning note when called to do so. All musicians should sit quietly untill the preformance. Our local symphony and the civic band I play with both have this cacophony of sound before the tunning note. Many musicians warming up, going over individual parts, solos, etc. I say it adds to the electricity and anticipation of the preformance. She contends it is downright unprofessional. Who's right?
