Cool!

Yep, I think that a tablet with MS blows away paper sheet music pretty much every time, unless maybe if you have a dedicated page turner.

But, tech glitches can kill you.

It sounds like you are about as prepared as you can be for that.

I, too, have two tablets and two pedals. I keep the tablets up-to-date, and bring all to every rehearsal and concert (does a symphony orchestra do 'gigs'?).

I keep the two tablets in sync by simply having my laptop be the master copy, and bulk-importing its directories to each tablet. I use annotations on my Mac, not in MobileSheets; I run the Companion in a virtual machine running Windows Xp. The only difference between the two tablets is that my Bluetooth pedal is connected to only one of them; the USB pedal of course connects to either.

BTW I also have about 600 songs uploaded. As a trombonist said when he saw that: "I guess this will make fake books obsolete." Personally, I do not improvise much and cannot play very well from a fake book, but I can read the piano part of almost any song.

Amusing anecdote: During our first rehearsal of one piece, necessarily playing from paper, my quick look-ahead showed me a piano solo with a page turn in the middle; so I sight-read it right-hand-only until after the turn. The conductor noticed that and joked to the violins: "that's what to do when the music gets hard -- just play one-handed!"
