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.

I believe that singing in band would be helpful when learning the parts, but maybe if the students would only sing the really challenging sections, then it may cut back on the time being used for singing. This way, the students will still have an opportunity to play some of the song.
