Thank you Paige! I completely agree with you. I had never thought of doing this before, but it is very useful. Yeah, there will be a few tweets that do not pertain to everyone, but everyone is still “in the know” of the whole band. That was also very smart of you to set up a separate account fot the guard. You guys really do have a slightly different schedule than everyone else!

Honestly, I started using twitter when the marching band made me. I was extremely reluctant because I just didn’t want to have another social media site to manage. However, this tactic that they used was extremely useful because email updates just weren’t fast enough and they were sick of their office being flooded with phone calls even if it looked like it was going to rain before practice.

As guard coordinator I set up a separate twitter account to contact all the guard members since we run on a slightly different schedule. I’d say things ran so much smoother this way because every one was updated at once when ever we had a slight change from the band. Also, I made sure every tweet was texted to their phone after they checked in to band camp so they had no excuse to be late or miss any rehearsal.

If you are going to manage at least 30 people, setting up a special update twitter is definitely the way to go!

Andrea, I know what you mean. Usually if I misspell the same word I try to spell it correctly without looking it up so I can remember how it is spelled. I agree about the pictures! It’s definitely a great way to remember things.

Candice, I know, right! Especially since it is so simple to look something up online you aren’t sure about, or notice that you spelled something wrong with the red line underneath the word. Good grief.
