Does the problem only occur with a certain type of chair (such as that in your band room), or with any kind of chair?
The chairs at the middle school where my community band rehearses must be the most uncomfortable, poorly-designed chairs in the world. Many band members have resorted to bringing in pads of various types to ease the chair-induced pain.
I have had similar problems with Volkswagon seats (at least, early 70s vintage); my thighs would be killing me after a four-hour drive, even if I drove without a tuba in my lap.

A one-inch foam pad may help, and the best type of foam is Temperfoam, which flows under pressure to avoid pressure points, and is used with wheelchairs and homebuilt aircraft, among other applications.
