When did you pass by a certain Northeast Alabama City and watch their High School band practice? That looks just like the clarinet section leader. On occasion, I help out at the High School but the BD and the assistant BD does not allow cell phones, iphones or blackberries on the practice field including those that help out. It is not fun at 50+ to run a lap around the field in 95 degree plus temps especially when you are as out of shape as I am. So...OK you got me I am the dreaded “BAND PARENT” but worse, I was in band when I was in high school, percussion, bass drum, during Marching season; Thank you. In my “money making” side of life I teach Transportation Design Engineers how to use and apply Computer Aided Design software (CAD) for highway, rail and storm water drainage design. Being that I am teaching all sorts of adults, you find that there are many different ways people learn. Some like and need a hard copy (paper) to read, others need someone to show them and others yet prefer electronic methods. So for some, computer based learning (including tweets) are the best way be instructed where for others the dot book is best and for others , the lead and follow method (or guiding) works the best. I think you nailled it. Now if they can link it to the GPS that is in the phone and have the phone instruct "Over .25 steps to your right to be on your Spot". Ummm I might have an idea here, "tom-tom for the durn line and the rest of the band" ;-)
