contents We are interested in the lower part of the spectrum of the Dirichlet Laplacian $A^\varepsilon$ in a thin waveguide $Π^\varepsilon$ obtained by repeating periodically a pattern, itself constructed by scaling an inner field geometry $Ω$ by a small factor $\varepsilon>0$. The Floquet-Bloch theory ensures that the spectrum of $A^\varepsilon$ has a band-gap structure. Due to the Dirichlet boundary conditions, these bands all move to $+\infty$ as $O(\varepsilon^{-2})$ when $\varepsilon\to0^+$. Concerning their widths, applying techniques of dimension reduction, we show that the results depend on the dimension of the so-called space of almost standing waves in $Ω$ that we denote by $\mathrm{X}_\dagger$. Generically, i.e. for most $Ω$, there holds $\mathrm{X}_\dagger=\{0\}$ and the lower part of the spectrum of $A^\varepsilon$ is very sparse, made of bands of length at most $O(\varepsilon)$ as $\varepsilon\to0^+$. For certain $Ω$ however, we have $\mathrm{dim}\,\mathrm{X}_\dagger=1$ and then there are bands of length $O(1)$ which allow for wave propagation in $Π^\varepsilon$. The main originality of this work lies in the study of the behaviour of the spectral bands when perturbing $Ω$ around a particular $Ω_\star$ where $\mathrm{dim}\,\mathrm{X}_\dagger=1$. We show a breathing phenomenon for the spectrum of $A^\varepsilon$: when inflating $Ω$ around $Ω_\star$, the spectral bands rapidly expand before shrinking. In the process, a band dives below the normalized threshold $π^2/\varepsilon^2$, stops breathing and becomes extremely short as $Ω$ continues to inflate.
