Band Folders and Orchestra Music Folders Built for the Stage

Here, "instrumental" means anything that isn't choral: band folders, orchestra folders, and the conductor's folder that keeps the whole score in order. (Singers, you'll want our choral folders.) We're working musicians ourselves, with three trombones in the house, so we know what a folder goes through between rehearsal, the bus, and the concert hall. Our music folders for band and music folders for orchestra are sized for real parts, with metal corners and pockets that last for years.

Band Folders Built to Carry the Whole Book

A good band folder has one job: keep every chart where you can find it. Pick the band music folder that fits your group:

• Pro Band/Swing Band Folder: 3mm hardboard and 1 3/8 inch accordion pockets that hold nearly 3 inches of charts; made for big band and swing books.
• Classroom Band/Orchestra Music Folder: 14 inches tall with metal corners and a pencil pocket; in black, red, green, and blue, so you can give concert band black folders and jazz band red ones.
• Classroom Band/Orchestra Music Folder with Front Flap Pocket: the same classic folder in black, with a front name card pocket.

Orchestra Folders Sized for Symphonic Scores

Orchestral parts run tall, so the Professional Orchestra Folder stands 15 inches high and holds symphonic scores. Two top flaps keep music in place if the folder flips, and black metal corners suit strict all-black stage rules. Two pencil sleeves mean bowings get marked before the conductor finishes asking. For school string programs, the Classroom Band/Orchestra Music Folder is a durable orchestra folder at a classroom price.

Don't Forget the Podium

Conductors deserve a nice folder too. The Accompanist/Conductor Music Folder opens flat on a stand or keyboard and has a 1-inch three-ring binder in the spine. Two expandable pockets and two pencil holders handle the rest.

Custom Embossing for Concert Band Folders and Orchestra Folders

Our typesetters add gold foil embossing, so your folders arrive ready for the first downbeat:

• Player names or instruments, like "2nd Clarinet"
• Sequential numbers for easy checkout
• Your group's name or logo

Allow up to two weeks. See every option on our embossing page.
