When picking a music stands for band,

It need ta be strong,
Easy ta carry along,
An simple ter set up by hand.

The lightweight - heavy duty stand

A Rainbow of stands... If Rainbows included chrome
These stands are Red and Blue and Purple and Chrome and Black. Basically a rainbow. Clearly they are perfect for a band that value individuality while ensuring they have a consistently robust and quality product. As a cherry on top, they even come with a carry bag that will protect the pretty finishes from the ware and tear of life.A (slightly) heavier heavy duty stand

Onto my personal favourite, dream stand: The RAT 88Q01 Alto stand. This piece of kit is light, super easy to adjust and has a pencil shelf. Furthermore, compared to some other pull adjustable stands that will remain unnamed, this design is faaar more robust and faaar more of a challenge to break.- Superb quality stand with a revolutionary design
- Polymer tray with rounded ages is safe to use and bounces back if bent
- Additional tray for pencils and smaller instruments
- Durable, anodized aluminium stem is lightweight yet very resilient
- Friction locks provide easy adjustment without additional knobs
- The base is made from durable polymer material with rubber feet
- Bigger height adjustment makes the stand perfect for anyone
- Easily stackable design, ideal for bands and classrooms
- Height measured from floor to lower edge of score adjustable between 715 - 1601 mm
- Tray size excluding pencil shelf: 503 x 323 mm (19’’ x 12’’)
- Weight of stand: 2.3 kg

There is nothing not to love about this stand. Nothing. At. All.
