Spreading out the ensemble

Something worth trying. This article suggests spreading out the ensemble to acheive a better sound and better listening environment for the students.  I could see how that could help the student be able to hear themself better and how they fit in the ensemble.  Sometimes when the students sit too close together they have a hard time hearing balance and blend because of the other sounds too close in proximity.
