For the @each example with the band members, what would you do in a situation where the "members" are not constant, like a store's employee's or any sort of dynamic content where you might not know their names ahead of time? Would this be beyond the scope of these lessons, or require additional languages?

28,888 PointsIt really depends, if the band members were coming out of a database you'd approach this differently and not use Sass to generate those details (most likely). I think with the band member example it's really just serving as a teaching exercise.
Here's an article that I wrote back in 2014 that talks about some other practical uses of using @each to iterate over a list.
