Not answering your question directly, but these days you probably want
to use the accepts_nested_attributes stuff that is built into rails
2.3 and higher.

That first argument to collection_select should be the name of the
attribute, ie a symbol or string rather than an actual instance of
band. The easy way would be to use the form builder, ie
band_form.collection_form :saved_band_name, ... just like you're doing
with other form inputs
