This depends on how much you love band, or rather how much you don't.
If you truly love marching band and it makes you happy, don't quit just because your director is a jerk. If marching band really isn't a big deal to you, then by all means quit and join another activity.
If you decide to stay in marching band, it would be a good idea to ask to speak with your director about some of the things he does. You can be perfectly mature about it and calm. If it would make you feel better, talk to your principal, or another school adult you trust, and ask that they be present when you talk to your director. Tell him why some of the things he does upsets you. Offer him suggestions you think he should do in order to be more fair to the band. As long as you talk about the bands' interests as a WHOLE, he has to listen to what you have to say.

Honestly?
Not every teacher is going to turn out the way you want them to be; and treat you like their little obedient puppy dog. However, (and if you are prepared to do this), you will need to do a bit of sucking up. Offer to help him/her to carry some instruments, or just make small talk. (How are you?/Hello.) Even smiling helps. I was blessed to have Satan has a Cooking teacher. I smile, and do a lot of it, and don't complain until I'm out of her sight. Get on their good side. It might take awhile, but you should definitely not quit.

Don't quit.
Just don't pain attention to the directors mean behaviors. They just want to try to get the best out of you, so just try as hard as you can.
Don't quit though.
