• Do I need to bring a music stand? You can bring a music stand or get creative with hanging your music, if you have printed copies. Please look at the photo below to get an idea for an easy way to hang music using a piece of cardboard clipped to a swivel-hook hanger. The cardboard gives the page stability. If the hanger is wider than 8 ½", add an additional clip. Also, consider using sticky putty to connect the paper to the cardboard. (This idea was borrowed from Dani Joy & Reno Uke Fest.)
