I believe this is an interesting idea as well, but it is a good one at that. I believe that there isnt enough time in rehersals to do this, but if you use it as a first read through its just like sight reading. It can be very helpful is the director uses the technique correctly.

If the band had enough time, I think it could improve their sense of the music. Perhaps, like Brian said, a person for each group could be assigned to teach his or her peers how to sing through it in sectionals and then during band rehearsal all of the groups could get together to sing. It would definately help with rhythm, but it could also help with intonation if the students could could relate their singing with actually playing their instruments. Of course, this will not work for all students, but it is still a valid idea.
