Here is my settup in the pit. The lighting wasnt the best, but you get the idea.
The conductor is on a raised platform in the pit so she can see the stage, that is why my music stand is higher than normal so that she is in the line of sight. That also means that I can fit another music stand under my original one and put books, magazines and my palm organiser on it. For the last few nights I have been playing chess on it (and have yet to win a game). Whats cool is that I can sit back and operate the thing with my bow, its pretty efficient. Even in parts where i have a 4 bar rest I'd be thinking "hmmmmm, rook to bishop 3, pawn to king 4",etc. Its great and makes the gig go really quickly.
And of course, my ultra-useful viola stand. I am the envy of all the other string players in the pit. Tee hee hee
