Orders are Orders
One of the most time consuming things about being in a Big Band, is putting your music pad in order for each new gig, and then putting it all back in order again once the job is finished. We can usually get through 30-40+ per gig and these are taken from a library of over 250 numbers.Allegedly Harry Connick Junior and his Big Band have fully automated music stands. These are almost like self contained PC's with a screen, and the music is programmed into the computer for each concert? Therefore, just push a button, and there is the music up on the screen. I think it will be a long time before we can afford these luxury items, so it is back to manual sorting for the time being!
