Great comments here.
I also play with the tuner on my stand, for reference. And I am pleased to say that I manage to stay relatively in tune -- it is not a problem for which I am often singled out.
My frustration here is, as Rachel surmised, with the amount of time the director spends doing these round-robin pitch assessments, which seem to me to not be an effective intervention, given that she feels the need to do it again and again and again over the rehearsal cycle.
I am sure the director is also frustrated when she hears, time after time, the clarinets or the flutes or the trumpets or the horns playing out of tune within or between sections. But, you know the definition of insanity, right?
I just wish she had another tool in her kit with which to address what I am sure she perceives as as problem.
