The use and misuse of the metronome is always a hot topic. I wrote and article called Metronome Strategies for Improving Your Timing. This video talks about sound delay as it relates to marching band and drum corps on the football field.

Thanks to Andrew Rogers for putting together this video and supporting documents. Well done!
