My current band, high school band, plays the Circle of fifths everday as a warm up.
It's nice because of a few things. We all know them from memory, meaning we can play them anywhere, which is a great thing when we are outside warming up for marching band and stuff. It's also an everyday thing which adds a feeling of rythmn in our rehearsals. Everyone knows when rehearsals start and such.
We play each scale in quarters and eights, and then a 2 octave Concert G Chromatic.
