? - - - - Or even for the "groovy" appearance of the band, as in Tony Pay`s
stroppy conductor, who didn`t like high music stands showing? (Or even low
horn players). My band director (years ago) appointed someone to check that
all the stands, except percussion, were exactly the <same> height before
every concert. He would visually check as he arrived at the podium, and
pointed to any stand which was not to his satisfaction. One short guy
actually had to bring a cushion to sit on. IDIOT. (Not the guy with the
cushion).

It is not uncommon for directors of large jazz ensembles to insist in
players
standing, for the rhythmic benefits.
