The only music stand in the house currently has Beethoven's 9th on it. The first violin part. My wife is preparing for an upcoming concert. I personally don't own one any more.

Re: What items are actually on your stand - RIGHT NOW?
hm...well, the vaughan williams (i like warming up with the 2nd movement), a big folder of excerpts, a bach flute sonata, a metronome (unless I knocked it off...), some piano homework, random solos that my teacher gave me last semester, probably a mouthpiece, probably some sort of snack or wrapper

A cup, vicks vaporub, my wallet, a knife, my keys, some chopsaver, roll of toilet paper, and my checkbook. I can't practice at home, but I keep a stand here for gigs that require my own stand. Does this mean I don't qualify to answer?

Piano stand: A couple certificates, a old black and white picture of a 1914 Overland Paddy Wagon.
Tuba Music Stand:nothing, although it usually serves as an alternate coat/t-shirt rack.

Re: What items are actually on your stand - RIGHT NOW?
From back to front:
Alessi & Bowman's edition of the Arban method, my transcription of the Characteristic Studies for C tuba, my arrangement of the Sachse Concerto for Bass Trombone, and a sketch of the new piece I'm working on for the Ball State Wind Ensemble.
Hmmmm...I think my focus is headed in a different direction again...

a pair of shoes, my disc golf bag w/discs (no, I won't itemize them), my string bass stand, and many other things. My music stand is folded up in the back of my car.

Re: What items are actually on your stand - RIGHT NOW?
Right now? I have Bass Bone parts to our upcoming jazz concert. The stand will soon be emptied and folded up, as it takes up too much space when not in use.

Re: What items are actually on your stand - RIGHT NOW?
I have a sawed off Manhasett stand that is just barely high enough to cover the music. Did it for use with keyboards to be less of an obstruction. I reduced the first 3 pages of the VW, copied them to heavy card stock, and taped them to that stand for my Vandy community band gig a few weeks ago. No page turns, no music falling down, no surprises.
