[nabs-l] the use of sighted guide technique

All of the techniques presented are accurate.  You would definitely want the
ability to independently negociate the church environment, with sided guide
as a back up option.

Subject: [nabs-l] the use of sighted guide technique

Hello,
I will be joining a women's chorus very soon.  The group practices at a
church in my hometown.  They are on Friday evenings which means my parents
have to wait until rehearsal ends to go down to our camper.  My question is
this: I have always just went sighted guide with my family or friends just
because it is faster for everyone.  However, since I may have to take the
transit sometimes or go with another chorus momber, do you think it is
appropriate to use sighted guide technique with them, whether it be the
transit driver or another person in the group? 
Or should I arrange for someone to show me how to get in and out of the
chorch independently? If so, if my mobility instructor cannot do it, how
would a family member go about taking over this role? I used sighted guide
with my friends in my college women's chohus, but I have a feeling that
since this group is a community group, it will be different.  What do you
guwiths think?
Thanks,
