Hey gang,
Okay, my 18-piece band is going to start gigging soon and I'm going to need to invest in some stands and stand lights for us. I'm looking for recommendations.
The stands must be lightweight and collapsable -- not necessarily wire stands, but I have to be able to fit 20 of them in a luggable wheel cart.
The lights must be small, battery-powered, and actually help readability.
Above all, everything needs to be inexpensive, since I have to buy for the whole band, and modern big band gigs aren't exactly a hugely profitable enterprise.
I saw this at Muscian's Friend -- $30 per light/stand combo (which is pretty much the upper limit of what I could afford):

I don't know if that's a battery-powered light, though.
Any advice would be much appreciated.
Looks pretty useful to me. There was a part number on the lights - have you followed through on that to see whether they're battery powerd, or plug-in?
And I vaguely recall seeing band fronts for saxes at either Giardinelli or WW/BW a while back, though I can't seem to find them now. They can be good for displaying the name of the band, and a lot of sax players are used to them.
