I remember doing the same thing when I was in Middle and High School. I would suggest just keeping the rehearsals interesting for the students, singing a song they like to sing about the middle of rehearsal. Also it depends on when in the day you have the class becuase if its early they wont want to work, middle of the day before lunch they just want food, and end they just want to go home, so it will be difficult keeping them occupied. Giving rewards for participating would be good, or maybe changing up what you do everyday with them would keep them interested.

Try giving them an incentive like play the songs you have to work on for the concert and then say at the end if you can get through everything that needs to be done, they will get to sing or play songs they enjoy. I know this worked for when I was in band. We hated playing Eroica and all the Sousa stuff but if the teacher said we could play Tequilla at the end, then we worked much more efficiently.
