A band of this stuff wrapped around the top of the pegs makes them much easier to find in the dark.

Agree that the brass guys are fortunate that they can clear out of the pit quickly, but then they do have to live with playing music on that plumbing, so I guess they want to make a quick getaway.
The reductions are getting much more common. I did a production of "A Chorus Line" this spring that was cut dramatically. Ended up with Flute, Picc, Eb Clarinet, Bb Clarinet, Bass Clarinet, Alto Sax and Tenor Sax, with some very quick changes. Was supposed to do oboe as well, but a bout with Bell's Palsy that put me out of commission for quite some time had double reeds written off my list for a while. Fortunately, the MD let me cover some things that really needed covering with a C Clarinet, but all in all it was 8 horns - and it's not a real joy to drag them all in, set them up, and tear them down night after night.
But, it's what we do.
