Re: phones in rehearsal

I'm now an old-timer and consider it rude to use a cell phone during a rehearsal or concert. As a tuba player, I also figure my ears will tell me whether I'm on pitch or not, but realize that varies among people. If it were "my band," i.e., consensus of BOD or conductor, there would be an announcement at the beginning of the year that cell phones must be OFF during rehearsals and concerts. If a player has, for example, some family medical situation that may require their immediate exit, then they should get a sub. As a tuba player, I see nothing wrong with (quietly) reading a paperback during a tacet movement, but do see that as iffy. Older generations have learned the patience to just wait but the younger generations seem to have not learned this and perhaps this is the perfect situation to teach them.
