In playing our big band gig with over 1000 tunes in the "folders" and many of them being 5 to 7 pages long, the iPad has made my life easier. Casuals are much easier when an "off-the-wall" chart is called using the " I real book" Also using it with students and a sansamp adapter, I'm able to travel "Light". Many of the shows I play backing headliners that come through the casinos still use "paper charts", and it feels strange playing those gigs. I also have tons of programs I use with my students, plus the advantage of having YouTube to look up examples at an instant is priceless. Now I just have to carry an iPad and my Roland CD2e from school to school makes my life easier.
