OT major metronome

["Qua Veda" <qua@oregon.com>]

Partly to ease the persistent tension of work, and pending layoffs, we had 
a
inter-dept softball game this afternoon.  But what I found really
interesting was a high school marching band practice the nearby municipal
stadium.  The band leader used the stadium PA to instruct the students, and
they had a super metronome that had a tone similar to a microwave makes 
when
its done, but loud enough to be heard for 1/4mile.  Wild!   I'm sure there
are latency issues to deal with , but that didn't seem to bother their
practice.

I designated this OT, but perhaps the metronome could be considered to be
looping the electronic tone ;-)    I'm sure those kids will hear it in 
their
heads for days!
