Learning scales and arpeggios in keys like Db major should be reserved to only advanced, large-school ensembles.

Including the all-state-required scales is a good curriculum idea.

Selecting scale and arpeggios that correspond to pieces the ensemble is working on.

Practicing scales is more beneficial than practicing arpeggios.

Prepare your students in advance about all of the things that will be different in the performance area from where the groups rehearses.

Remind your students very strongly about how important a top-rating in sight-reading is.
