Shows you what I know about orchestras. I thought the players kept their music from rehearsal to rehearsal so they could practice. Since they don't, it makes no since to go digital until the way orchestras operate with regard to music changes. (That is, until the players keep their music and be responsible for it rehearsal to rehearsal. If they were, I could see many ways to utilize the musicpad, including having the librarian loan them CD's, memory sticks or other media with new music on it that they transfer to the pad).
There are many different models of music dispersement in orchestras -- for per-service orchestra gigs in my area, the music is mailed to the musicians prior to the first rehearsal, and they keep the music for the duration, leaving it on the stands at the end of the final performance.
In my community band, music stays in our folders for many months at a time (why waste all that rehearsal effort on a single performance?).
