It has worked wonderful in many different environments from outside on the Marching Band practice field to inside in the auditorium, school lobby, and of course in the Band Room. I use it a lot as we near a concert to record the kids playing the concert selections. Then we listen to what we have just done to do a self and group evaluation to make sure that there isn't anything that we may or may not be doing that could help make the performance better. I have also used it a couple times at a booster meeting when the secretary was unable to attend. Once the meeting was over, I e-mailed the .mp3 file of the meeting to them and that way they were able to then create the minutes for that meeting. It has been one of the best investments that I have made to date for my program. I have been using the H2 with my kids at Queen Anne’s County H.S. on the Eastern Shore of MD for a year now.

I record all my jazz gigs on it. Even though I've been performing professionally for over 40 years, I still learn from listening to my performances. I also post sound clips from the gigs on my gig journals. These gig journals are a great resource for developing players who want to get a sense of what it's like to perform professionally. Two gig journals with H2 sound clips: http://www.frogstoryrecords.com/gig_journal_jonathans_2008.html http://www.frogstoryrecords.com/gig_journal_powow_2008.html Students can learn a lot by recording their practice sessions, rehearsals, jams, and performances.
