What is that thing called?

[dwnsthballer]

Okay, I'm getting ready to start gathering materials for a music video shoot in January, and I'm looking for a prop.

If any of you have ever watched the late show with Conan O'brien, and seen the shots of the band, you'll notice that they're standing behind these large stands/desk/furniture.

Does anyone know the technical name of that type of prop?

In the jazz band world... they're call Band Fronts. They're used to put music on... though some actually have electronic screens that display the music!!!

That's why they have those things, so the audience doesn't see them getting a BSD.

No -- in this case it displays the music just like sticking a piece of paper...
