I don't think either of these are official rules, just common courtesy
to the home team.  They should have at least let you play something
during the warmups, however.  As for the second "rule", this is common
anytime both teams' bands show up.  The pep bands that I've been in
(Bowdoin Precision Drinking Band and TAWVaFCI/OP?MP&CSR,U! aka the
Virginia Pep Band) usually followed the every-other-break rule except
during the last few minutes of the game.  Of course, when our team
came out of the locker room or we scored (except for basketball) we
would play no matter what else was happening.
