I’m the choir director of a 50+ member church choir, following in the footsteps of my dad, who led the choir for 47 years. I’m now in my third year and managing a large collection of music: a 534-page spiral-bound choir book, a 90-page three-ring folder for new songs, and a hymnal. I have all of these digitized in my version of MobileSheets.
We’re considering creating a new edition of our choir book, and I’m seriously thinking about purchasing tablets for each member, which would stay at the church and run MobileSheets. Normally, choir members mark up their own books, but some don’t—so a digital solution might help with consistency.
One challenge is that I never know exactly who will be there until the service starts, and I frequently adjust setlists right before we begin or even mid-service. My idea is to use two tablets: one for me to navigate freely and another to sync with the 50 choir tablets as I advance songs. However, if there’s an easier way to manage this with just one tablet, I’d love to hear it.
Has anyone implemented something similar? Any tablet recommendations? Ideally, I’d love to find color e-ink tablets that can run MobileSheets, as they’re much easier to read.
